Description

NCD's primary interest in undertaking this research is to ensure that the Federal Government is in a position to effectively monitor and eventually evaluate these programs and supports for people with disabilities, but not duplicate other work. A secondary interest is that the Federal Government contribute to the improvement of performance reporting for its major social programs for Americans with disabilities and their families. One of the chief mechanisms has been through the use of indicator systems. Few of this nation's national indicator systems, however, are populated with meaningful (outcome) data related to people with disabilities. Additionally, the majority of indicator systems are not holistic addressing the whole of people's lives but, rather, are domain-specific (e.g., health). In an effort to identify valid federal indicators and data and to describe the status of the U.S. population of Americans with disabilities, the National Council on Disability will conduct research that results in a product entitled Americans with Disabilities: Key Indicators of Quality Lives.
