Description
  • On national, state, and local levels, the Council for Disability Rights advances the rights of people with disabilities. The Council promotes public policy and legislation, public awareness through education, and provides information and referral services.

    The Council for Disability Rights believes . . .

    • that regardless of their disability, people should be encouraged and accommodated to live independently and to participate fully in community life;
    • that the independent living movement must be led and defined by disabled people and their families on their own behalf; and
    • that both understanding and enforcement of disability rights are required to remove barriers that still remain in the community.



Notes

Provides the following services:

  • vocational target identification (which takes into consideration the work history, educational background, personal choices, and impact of disability);
  • resume preparation;
  • job seeking skills training;
  • motivational and support groups;
  • job development (employer contact, resume mailing and faxing, interview arrangements); and
  • follow up services (job searching, supportive counseling, career ladder development).
