ABOUT THE CENTER FOR THE STUDY AND ADVANCEMENT OF DISABILITY POLICY:

The Center for the Study and Advancement of Disability Policy conducts research and analysis of complex public policy issues affecting individuals with disabilities and their families. Through consensus-building strategies that transcend partisan and interest-group politics, the Center develops common-sense, flexible solutions that recognize the needs and rights of individuals with disabilities and their families as well as the legitimate concerns of Federal, State, local, and private entities.

The Center also provides public education, leadership development and training, technical assistance and information dissemination to disability groups, international, national, State, local, and private sector leaders and others interested in learning about the complex details of, and the relationships among various laws and programs affecting individuals with disabilities and their families.

More specifically, the Center:

• Conducts research and analysis of disability policy issues and translates research into policy alternatives related to current issues affecting Federal, State and local governments and the private sector

• Creates educational and training opportunities for individuals with disabilities and their families, international, national, State, and local leaders, advanced policy fellows and others to learn about the complex details of, and the relationships among various laws and programs affecting persons with disabilities and their families

• Provides a national forum for discussion of public policies affecting persons with disabilities and their families

• Provides technical assistance and disseminates policy information to organizations representing disability groups, professional groups, and Federal, State, local, and private entities that want to devise solutions to complex policy issues that require a broad-based consensus.

 The Center is currently receiving support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and grants from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research of the United States Department of Education supporting the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Workforce Investment and Employment Policy for Persons with Disabilities (No. H133B980042) and the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on State Systems and Employment (No. H133B30067).  Additional support is provided by The Joseph P.
