[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Census provides data on the number of disabled people[/quote] This is a self-report on whether the person considers someone in their household to be disabled. Not a legal definition of a threshhold under SSI whether supports are needed to carry out the activities of daily life. SSI or Developmental Disabilities Administration decides whether someone qualifies with a condition under which they need support to carry out the activities of daily life - nursing care, adult day care, etc. The problem with using statistics from these agencies is that both agencies have an incentive to reject people and keep their figures low and make people appeal in order to get benefits. EEOC only looks at workplace. So, there really is no accurate percentage.[/quote]
