The National Disability Council (NCD) is an independent federal agency that provides advice and recommendations to the President, Congress, and other federal agencies on policies, programs, and practices that impact individuals with disabilities. Comprised of a team of Presidential and Congressional appointees, NCD's mission is to enhance equal opportunity by convening stakeholders, analyzing data, engaging in current debates, formulating solutions, and providing tools for effective implementation.
With a proud history dating back to its establishment in 1978, NCD has played a leading role in shaping disability policies and advocating for the needs of people with disabilities. From recommending the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1986 to its ongoing advisory role, NCD continues to contribute to the advancement of equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
