Effectively Serving People with Disabilities: Part One (Inclusion)

As of 2021, up to 17.5% of working age American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians reported they have a disability. However, only 2.2% of Division of Indian and Native American Programs grantee participants reported they have a disability. Low reporting may indicate that participants do not know that they can receive accommodations to help them be more successful during a training program and at their workplace if they disclose that they have a disability.

The National Center on Leadership for the Employment and Economic Advancement of People with Disabilities hosted part-one of a two-part series on December 8, 2021 where attendees learned about effective inclusion-focused practices and program partnerships to better provide employment services to Native Americans with disabilities.
