Easterseals today released findings of a new report, State of Disability Equity and Access, that examines current research on equity, inclusion, and access for the 61+ million individuals in the United States with disabilities in key social determinants of health including employment, transportation, healthcare, and education.
Kendra E. Davenport, president and CEO, Easterseals, said, "This report serves as a benchmark to measure future progress in achieving civil rights for the disability community. As one of the nation's leading services providers and advocates for 61 million Americans with disabilities, we intend for the report to inform policies and programs which ensure that people with disabilities can fully participate in society."
Leading disability advocates, corporate and academic changemakers, and members of the Bipartisan Disability Caucus joined Easterseals at the U.S. Capitol to discuss the report, authored by the Coelho Center for Disability Law, Policy & Innovation at Loyola Marymount University Law School with support from Voya Financial.
