Veterans in Focus: Disability and Veterans in Rural America
There are an estimated 17 million Veterans living throughout the United States. Relative to the general population, Veterans are more likely to experience disability. Veterans are also disproportionately represented in rural areas across the U.S. As people with disabilities are also disproportionately represented in rural areas, it is valuable to explore the intersection between veteran status, disability, and rurality. This analysis uses publicly available date from the American Community Survey to examine service-connected disability rating status and the ACS-6 questions on functional ability as they related to U.S. regions and rurality.
Impacts of CIL Youth Transition Services in Northern Florida: A case study of Ability 1st
Impacts of CIL Youth Transition Services in Northern Florida: A case study of Ability 1st
For young people with disabilities, the transition from secondary education into adulthood can be challenging to navigate. Key services and supports may be lost, daily life and routines may change, and new responsibilities and expectations emerge. These transitions can be particularly challenging for youth in rural areas who face additional transportation, education, and housing barriers. Centers for Independent Living (CILs), like Ability 1st in Northern Florida, provide valuable and impactful youth transition services to both the rural and urban communities they serve. This research report illustrates and evaluates this CIL's efforts to help transitioning youth with disabilities explore postsecondary employment and education.
