DePaul University study of costs and benefits of employing people with disabilities finds few risks to employers

Groundbreaking study commissioned by the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce contradicts common misperceptions among employers

CHICAGO - A study conducted by a team of researchers at DePaul University found that employees with disabilities from the healthcare, retail and hospitality sectors in the region were just as dependable and productive as employees without disabilities. In addition, accommodation costs associated with workers with disabilities were often minimal and well worth the expense. First envisioned during Mayor Daley's Task Force on Employment of People with Disabilities between 2002 and 2005, this study was commissioned by the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce's disabilityworks initiative, and made possible through a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. A subsequent financial contribution was made by the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities.

"Persons with disabilities are an important segment of the labor force yet they are frequently an untapped resource of workers," said disabilityworks Executive Director Karen McCulloh. "I believe these findings will help set the record straight about what people with disabilities can contribute to the labor force. We've learned that employees with disabilities are working in senior level positions, are pharmacists, nurses, managers of retail stores and work at all levels of jobs just like nondisabled workers. In the not so distant future, it will be increasingly important to recruit talent from this community as the workforce continues to evolve."

In a groundbreaking study, DePaul researchers compared work-related variables of 314 participating employees with and without disabilities and found:

Despite these positive findings, DePaul researchers found that employer misperceptions often made it difficult for persons with disabilities to obtain employment. Researchers completed focus groups with administrators and human resource personnel to discuss their experiences with workers with disabilities. Overall themes from these focus groups were supportive, but there were also themes reflecting managerial bias. Findings from the focus groups include:

"It is interesting to note that many managers are still concerned about the productivity of workers with disabilities and the costs associated with providing accommodations to this group. However, results of this study show that our participants with disabilities were on par with those who were not disabled across a number of work-related variables," said Brigida Hernandez, assistant professor of psychology at DePaul University and a principal researcher for the study. Over the course of the three-year study, researchers worked with 25 businesses in the Chicago region that were involved as advisors, focus group participants, and sites for the collection of the cost-benefit data. To view the complete research results, visit www.disabilityworks.org.

"Businesses in the retail, hospitality, and healthcare industries are often looking to recruit new employees, and this study demonstrates that persons with disabilities can add a lot of value to their operations," said Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Director Jack Lavin. "Governor Blagojevich and I have been committed to meeting current and future workforce challenges and employers should look to this talent pool to increase the diversity of their workplace and meet their ongoing talent needs."

"Having locally based research findings will be a powerful tool to educate employers who may have been reluctant to recruit and hire people with disabilities based on perceived costs of accommodations, absenteeism or performance," said Commissioner Karen Tamley of the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities. "We now have the research to refute these widely held misconceptions."

"Chicagoans with disabilities are a vital component of the City's workforce," said Mayor's Office of Workforce Development Commissioner David Hanson. "This study further supports what we already know, that the unique skills and talents of dedicated Chicagoans with disabilities meet the needs of our employers and contribute to the success of our economy."

About disabilityworks

disabilityworks was launched in 2005 at the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce as a result of a collaborative public-private partnership established between the Chamber, Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and the City of Chicago in order to increase the economic and employment opportunities for people with disabilities. disabilityworks strives to break down barriers that keep people with disabilities from finding jobs by working directly with employers to meet labor market demands. Employers can find the right employee through education and job matching, and people with disabilities can find the right kind of job training or job placement program.

Family Connect Brings Together Parents of Visually Impaired Children

New York, NY, April 29, 2008—When parents learn their child has a visual impairment, it can be overwhelming. Parents wonder, "Will my child fall behind at school?" or "Will my child make friends?" or "Will my child have a successful career?" With only 93,600 visually impaired school-aged children in the U.S., over half of whom have additional disabilities, it's easy for families facing vision loss to feel alone.

To help these families connect with each other and give busy parents, grandparents and other caretakers a place to find comprehensive resources and support 24 hours a day, the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) and the National Association for Parents of Children with Visual Impairments (NAPVI) today launched FamilyConnect™, an online, multimedia community for parents and guardians of children with visual impairments.

Located at www.familyconnect.org, FamilyConnect gives parents access to message boards where they can talk to other parents, compelling videos featuring real-life families, parenting articles, a mom-authored blog, a glossary of more than 30 eye conditions, and links to local resources. The site also features sections dedicated to multiple disabilities, technology, education, and every age group from infants to teens.

"We created FamilyConnect to give parents the support and information they need to ensure their children can achieve their dreams—whether that is playing sports or music, learning to read braille, getting a first job, surfing the web, making the cheerleading squad, traveling the world, or going to graduate school," said Carl R. Augusto, President & CEO of AFB.

A recent NAPVI/AFB survey of parents of children with visual impairments showed that parents/guardians turn most commonly to physicians (82%), educators (76%), and web sites (65%) for information and support regarding their children's vision problems. This is consistent with national statistics from the 2006 Pew Internet & American Life Project that show 80 percent of American adult Internet users have searched for health information online. For parents living in rural areas with fewer resources, the web is particularly important to finding relevant, trustworthy information and the right services.

"When I talk to parents of visually impaired children, they almost always ask about three things: they want to talk to other parents who have children with the same eye condition as their child, they want access to the latest health and education information, and they want to know what the future holds," said Susan LaVenture, Executive Director of NAPVI. "FamilyConnect offers parents all these things—and more—in one place."

In addition to joining a community of parents, visitors to www.familyconnect.org can create a personal profile and receive information on news and events based on their child's age, eye condition, and location. Families can also find articles written by parents and professionals on topics such as:


In designing this web site, AFB and NAPVI partnered with leading national organizations and hundreds of local agencies that serve children who are visually impaired to keep FamilyConnect content complete and up to date. AFB and NAPVI also solicited input from families across the country. Here are representative samples of what they are saying about the final result.

Jen and Bill O'Neill, Nebraska
Daughter Camille, age 3, Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
"Our family is truly amazed at what we've seen of the site. Wow! Thank you all for the insight to see that this is something that is so needed for families who are facing and overcoming the diagnosis of visual impairment. The site is more than I imagined it would be—it is so comprehensive and truly allows families to connect with one another and to resources."

Patty Bushland, Arkansas
Daughter Mary Rose, age 2, Leber's Congenital Amaurosis (LCA)
"When I found out my baby was visually impaired, I immediately went to the Internet to find out everything I could about her condition and what I could do to help her. FamilyConnect is so important, and I wish it had been there for me when my daughter was first diagnosed."

The goal of www.familyconnect.org is to provide connections and support. By providing accurate information and creating a forum for meaningful discussion, families and their visually impaired children will feel empowered to reach their full potential.

FamilyConnect is generously supported by grants from the Lavelle Fund for the Blind, Inc. and Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, The Annie E. Casey Foundation, and Morgan Stanley.

Rep. Don Young Joins the American Council of the Blind in Supporting the Safety of Blind Pedestrians

Washington, D.C. - Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) joined with the American Council of the Blind (ACB) today in demonstrating his continued commitment to the safety of blind pedestrians by signing on as a co-sponsor to H.R. 5734, The Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act of 2008.

"The auto industry has made amazing technological strides over the past decade that have allowed our automobiles to be more energy efficient and to burn cleaner," Young said. "This is to be commended, but, as with most advancements in technology, it has given us a newer and different set of issues to look at. Unfortunately, one of the side effects of these newer hybrid cars is that the noise level produced has been greatly reduced, leading to safety issues for those who are visually impaired. The safety of people is something I take very seriously, and for that reason I am proud to be a co-sponsor of H.R. 5734, the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act. I am encouraged that Congress is looking into this issue and that we are looking to do something about this as soon as possible. Let's continue to use our technology for good and use it to keep people safe."

"ACB has a long history of being the leader in the blindness community regarding pedestrian safety issues and was pleased to see that much of the language in H.R.5734 mirrored draft legislation our staff had been working to have introduced by Congressman Young," said Mitch Pomerantz, President of the American Council of the Blind. When vision is reduced or completely eliminated as a means of understanding and responding to one's environment, an individual's hearing takes over as the primary source of environmental information. Traditionally, people who are blind or visually impaired have learned to rely on their hearing to navigate safely across streets and through other vehicular ways, such as parking lots. In so doing, the sound of traffic is their primary focus. Traffic sounds provide information about such things as the position of vehicles, their direction of travel, and the speed at which they are likely to move. With this information, the pedestrian can make informed decisions about when to cross a street or other vehicular ways safely.

Pomerantz said, "This issue is one that the entire blindness community is united in supporting. I urge ACB membership to contact their members of Congress to ask them to co-sponsor this legislation, as this is an opportunity to bring real change and make blind pedestrians' lives safer."

This legislation is being sponsored by Reps. Edolfus "Ed" Towns (D-N.Y.) and Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.).

About H.R. 5734: The bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to conduct a study beginning within 90 days of enactment of this legislation, and to complete it within two years of its commencement, at which time, the secretary shall report the study's findings to Congress. Within 90 days after the conclusion of the study, the secretary is then directed to establish a standard that will take in to account the results of the study, and will set forth the minimum information that must be provided by motor vehicles required for blind and other pedestrians to travel safely and independently in urban, rural, and residential environments. The bill provides that the standard shall apply to all "new motor vehicles."

About ACB: The American Council of the Blind is the largest consumer-based organization of blind and visually impaired Americans advocating for the rights of blind Americans. Comprised of more than 70 affiliates across the entire United States, the organization is dedicated to making it possible for blind and visually impaired Americans to participate fully in every aspect of American society.

National Braille Press Names Brian A. MacDonald to Serve as President

Boston, MA - April 2008 - National Braille Press, a leading Braille publisher and advocate of literacy for the blind, is pleased to announce that its Board of Trustees has named Brian A. MacDonald to serve as the company's new President. Mr. MacDonald brings with him a solid track record of success in operations, sales, marketing and donor development within the non-for-profit world.

Mr. MacDonald holds an MBA in Marketing and Finance from Boston College and an undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Vermont and was most recently Chief Operating Officer of New Hampshire Audubon where he helped lead a major restructuring that included strategic planning, change management and improved revenue generation. He also has significant experience in planned giving, business development and building corporate partnerships. Prior to Audubon, he was the Senior Director of Sales and Revenue for over twenty years at New England Aquarium where he managed business development, operations, sales, marketing and international tourism for its business units. He formed and managed strategic alliances and partnerships to advance revenue and promote the Aquarium's mission.

His significant volunteer work has included four years as Essex County Director of the Massachusetts Special Olympics where he led operations, corporate development, training and regional/state competition involving 33 cities and towns with more than 750 athletes, 105 coaches and 1100 volunteers from corporate, civic and charitable organizations. He founded the Northeast Whale Watching Association; authored an economic impact study; and, testified before Congress on the reauthorization of the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

"After 32 years, Bill Raeder has stepped down for a well deserved retirement from President of this venerable Boston based institution. Under Mr. Raeder, NBP recently inaugurated a major strategic initiative to expand our offerings and to accelerate our outreach and advocacy programs. We want to emphasize the 'national' in National Braille Press. Our historical success has always included a fiscally responsible budget and the solid leadership to carry it out. Brian MacDonald has the important skills and background to apply sound business practices and he brings advanced marketing skills and, most important, an authentic inner passion that soon will be felt within the blind community." said Paul V. McLaughlin, Chair of the Board of Trustees.

Mr. MacDonald added, "To be chosen to lead National Braille Press is a most welcome joy and privilege for me and my family. Because my grandmother reads braille, I have a strong personal interest in its advancement. I realize there are challenges, especially in succeeding such a great leader as Bill Raeder. It is hoped that my leadership of the Strategic Plan for the future will continue to complement Bill's vision of strengthening programs and building capacity while remembering NBP's wonderful past."

About National Braille Press (NBP)

National Braille Press is located at 88 St Stephen Street in Boston and for over eighty years has been promoting literacy through excellence in braille printing and publishing. Our founder, Francis B. Ierardi once said, "He who looks over his shoulder cannot see that which lies ahead." Ever since its first publication which was America's first newspaper for the blind, NBP has never looked back and has been a leader in introducing and authoring many self help publications that are particularly geared to independent living and career development for the blind.

Our children's braille publishing initiatives include America's first Children's Braille Book Club and our family outreach program, ReadBooks! Because Braille Matters. We support these and other initiatives through a major fundraising campaign that includes our annual gala event, Hand On! Books for Blind Children. In 2007, NBP made history and the national TV and press by publishing and delivering Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to blind children on the same day as their sighted counterparts.
