National Council on Disability to Make Employment Recommendations 

 

WASHINGTON-The National Council on Disability (NCD) will highlight
National Disability Employment Awareness Month by releasing its latest
report Empowerment for Americans with Disabilities: Breaking Barriers to
Careers and Full Employment at a news conference and panel discussion on
October 1 from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. in the House Committee on
Administration Hearing Room, 1309 Longworth House Office Building,
Independence and New Jersey Avenues, SE, Washington, DC. 

 

This report comprehensively reviews the issues integral to the
employment of people with disabilities. It has two broad aims: 1) to
summarize the existing knowledge regarding the employment of people with
disabilities in a series of short issue briefs; and 2) present new
information on the perspectives of employers, people with disabilities,
and disability specialists on the key barriers and facilitators of
employment

 

Each October is designated by Congress as National Disability Employment
Awareness month. 

 

NCD is an independent federal agency and is composed of 15 members
appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the
Senate. It provides advice to the President, Congress, and executive
branch agencies to promote policies, programs, practices, and procedures
that guarantee equal opportunity for all individuals with disabilities,
regardless of the nature or severity of the disability and to empower
individuals with disabilities to achieve economic self-sufficiency,
independent living, and inclusion and integration into all aspects of
society.
