The Good News
A college education is the great equalizer for employment
The number of students with disabilities attending college has steadily increased
The Senate Higher Education Act reauthorization bill includes some excellent new provisions
![Page 9: Employment and Disability Institute](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052913/568148b8550346895db5d2c4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Provisions in the Senate Higher Education Act Reauthorization Bill
Strengthening projects for students with disabilities – retention, transition, distance learning
New authority for model programs for students with intellectual disabilities
Landmark provisions to allow students with intellectual disabilities -- Access to Pell Grants, SEOGs and Work-Study funds
![Page 10: Employment and Disability Institute](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052913/568148b8550346895db5d2c4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Not-So-Good News
The participation and retention rate of students with disabilities continues to lag
High profile debate on access and affordability of college – students with disabilities not part of the discussion
Think Tank reports on every group except students with disabilities
Higher Education has not embraced educating students with disabilities as a mission
![Page 11: Employment and Disability Institute](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052913/568148b8550346895db5d2c4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Not-So-Good News Continued…
House and Senate have spent many hours debating higher education bills in the last month – service providers and special education teachers were part of the debate, but very little on access to higher education for students with disabilities
A minor advocacy presence
![Page 12: Employment and Disability Institute](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052913/568148b8550346895db5d2c4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Path Forward
Support students with disabilities in organizing a strong advocacy voice
High visibility national study
Develop a campaign and materials to make the case
![Page 13: Employment and Disability Institute](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052913/568148b8550346895db5d2c4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Points to be covered…
Post-Secondary Education (PSE) is the critical next frontier we must address to improve the quality of life for people with disabilitiesWe have under-invested in making PSE a real possibility for students with disabilitiesNational Interest and working models are increasing in number and qualityWe have resources that we can build on
![Page 16: Employment and Disability Institute](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052913/568148b8550346895db5d2c4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Clear Link between Education & Employment
The gap in employment rate between people with and without disabilities ranged from 24.2% in Utah to 45.3% in Kentucky, with a national average of 37%.(American Community Survey, 2005)People with disabilities with even less than four years of postsecondary education are employed at double the rate of those with just a high school diploma (Getzel, Stodden and Briel, 1999). Employment rates for people with disabilities demonstrate a stronger positive correlation between level of education and rate of employment than appears in statistical trends for the general population (Stodden, 1998).Graduates of post-secondary education institutions can expect to earn at least $250,000 to $600,000 more over their lifetime than high
school graduates (High Hopes, 1998).

What Parents SayUn of IOWA MARKETING STUDY FOR STUDENTS WITH DD & LD (2006)
Parents report an overwhelming enthusiasm for a post-secondary program on a university campus.Proximity to home or within the respondent’s home state is a significant influencing factor in choosing a program.Approximately two-thirds of the parents have considered some form of post-secondary education program, but only 20% of the sample report that they have enrolled their child. Respondents show a preference for a program that is balanced equally between job training and life skills instruction. The more inclusive the educational program, the higher the interest level of the parents. They preferred some participation in college courses, living on campus, and, as noted, a balance of career training and life skills instruction.

Bottom Line…..
Higher education plays a critical role in improving the outcomes of students with disabilities and even more so for students with severe disabilities.Keeping college in the mix of possibilities as students with severe disabilities explore which steps to take after high school says that we believe in their potential for successBeing part of campus life, taking classes and learning to navigate a world of high expectations leads to development of skills needed for successful adult lifeGaining knowledge and work skills to pursue meaningful and competitive work related to career goal

NTID-SSA Outcomes StudyNTID-SSA Outcomes Study
NTID is one of two federally funded postsecondary schools that serve the deaf population.
In 2004, NTID initiated a study to track long term outcomes of its applicants since it opened in 1968.
– Under contract with SSA and subject to privacy protection laws, NTID data is linked to SSA administrative data on earnings and program participation for research purposes only.
– SSA, NTID and Cornell University collaboration.

SummarySummary
NTID graduates illustrate potential for postsecondary education to increase employment and reduce participation in disability programs over lifetime.
Short term postsecondary outcome measures can provide a misleading picture.
Long term measures illustrate lifetime benefits of postsecondary education.

SSI Program TrendsSSI Program Trends
Children with disabilities qualify for SSI if they live in families with low income and few resources
Rapid growth in number of SSI children – Number has tripled over the last 15 years– Over 1 million SSI children in 2006
Children are likely to participate in the SSI program for a majority of their lifetime

Do SSI children with hearing impairments make up a large share of NTID applicants and how has the share changed over time?
Do SSI children graduate at the same rate as deaf students who did not participate in the SSI program as children?
Do SSI children who graduate from NTID have better labor market outcomes and spend less time on the SSI program?

SSI children who graduate have better earnings and program outcomes
SSI children who graduate have better earnings and program outcomes
• They experience greater lifetime earnings
- By age 30 earnings are 68% higher than those who withdraw
• They spend less time on the SSI program
- They leave the SSI program almost 1.5 years sooner than those who do not graduate
- Their risk of re-entry is cut in half compared to those who do not graduate
• They experience greater lifetime earnings

ConclusionsConclusions
Post-secondary education can improve labor market outcomes and reduce SSI adult participation for SSI children.
Long term outcome measures show that potential effects persist over person’s lifetime
Need more concerted effort to promote postsecondary education for people with disabilities
– Make greater use of current programs
– Examine new ways to expand postsecondary education opportunities
