Economic Equality Road Map for Persons with Disabilities

Limited access to money is one of the most serious problems facing Americans with disabilities. The Federal Government spends large amounts on behalf of people with disabilities in terms of health care, education, vocational rehabilitation, transportation, housing, and in other areas, whether sources are direct, indirect, or community based.
