Have you found or researched other disability rights organizations than those listed?
Yes, I have researched other disability rights organizations. For example: Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion (EARN), Job Accommodation Network – JAN etc.
If so, how do they compare when you think about the important role of organizing people with disabilities in our fight for equality and disability rights in the US?
Their important role of organizing people with disabilities in our fight for equality and disability rights in the US can be understood from following aspects:
(1)EARN supports organizations in their efforts to recruit, hire, retain and advance qualified individuals with disabilities. EARN educates public- and private-sector organizations on ways to build inclusive workplace cultures.
(2) JAN offers free consulting on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), job accommodations, and the employability of people with disabilities.
(3) TASH advocates for human rights and inclusion for people with significant disabilities and support needs. TASH works to advance inclusive communities through advocacy, research, professional development, policy, and information and resources for parents, families and self-advocates.
