Resources: Articles on Enhancing Disability Accessibility and Employment

Share this page

To assist our members in their broader efforts and conversations to improve accessibility for the individuals they support and help them with employment-seeking, we share the following resources:

  • An article by the National Rehabilitation Information Center (NARIC) addressing whether job crafting may be an under-utilized strategy to improve job satisfaction and performance for workers with disabilities.
  • Another article by NARIC summarizing the responses to a recent NIDILRR-funded study in which researchers asked people with disabilities whether they used mHealth apps and which types of mHealth apps they used. The respondents also answered an open-ended question asking what features or functions they would like to see in an existing or new app but had not yet found in the app marketplace.
  • A fact sheet by the Americans with Disabilities Act National Network on improving accessibility at drive-thru medical sites.
  • A blog post by the Nonprofit Quarterly outlining five actions nonprofits can take to embrace disability rights and access.
  • A webinar series from Dec. 7-11 featuring a week of virtual deep-dives into the reciprocal impact of the tech and aging industries.
