Highlights of a Forum: Actions That Could Increase Work Participation for Adults with Disabilities

The Government Accountability Office convened a forum earlier this year to investigate policy options to assist adults with disabilities with a current or past work history to improve their participation in the labor market. This report includes an overview of the forum and policy options that arose out of the forum and other comments collected by the GAO. In summary, the GAO agrees with forum participants that strong Federal leadership is essential for achieving the level of coordination required to effectively leverage resources to improve work participation for Americans with disabilities.
