Thanks to the generous support of our donors, Disability Rights Advocates is pleased to make available on our website and in our offices the work of artists from the National Institute of Art & Disabilities (NIAD). NIAD provides an art program that promotes creativity, independence, dignity, and community integration for people with developmental and other disabilities.
Regrettably, stereotypical assumptions and beliefs continue to pervade the American workplace. Statistics show that people with disabilities are much less likely to be employed than people without disabilities. People with disabilities are also much less likely to be promoted when they are employed. Through individual and class action litigation, DRA strives to overcome this discrimination and ensure that people with disabilities are fairly judged on their abilities, and guaranteed equal access to employment opportunities at some of our nation's largest employers.
