Company Description
The National Organization on Disability (NOD) is a $4 million organization whose mission is to expand the participation and contribution of America’s 54 million men, women and children with disabilities in all aspects of life. Recognized for its creativity, and for its catalytic role and partnership in helping galvanize the disability field, NOD is working to propel disability as a top diversity priority among employers and provides national leadership to address persistently high rates of unemployment among people with disabilities. With a focus on employment, NOD accomplishes its mission by piloting innovative programs and evaluating their results, by communicating lessons to employers, policymakers, researchers and service providers, and by leveraging an extensive network of corporate partners for increased workforce participation. One of only three national “cross disability” organizations, NOD has earned a reputation for its work as an advocate, program developer, and provider of periodic Harris Interactive polling data on the status of Americans with disabilities. NOD has three major demonstration programs, the largest of which, “Army Wounded Warrior Careers,” involves an innovative employment partnership with the U.S. Army to assist the most seriously injured veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
