Let’s Commemorate the Rehabilitation Act of 1973: The Power of Independent Living & Employment

Webinar Date: September 19, 2023   |   Time: 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm ET

 

The month of September marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehab Act). As we commemorate the milestones that have been achieved, close to 400 participants joined us for this webinar that focused on the power of the Independent Living movement in advancing employment. The National Council on Independent Living (NCIL) and the RAMP Center for Independent Living jointly reflected on successful strategies they adopted over the years to move people with disabilities out of institutions and to help them obtain and retain competitive, integrated employment.
