Funded by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the Center for Capacity Building on Minorities with Disabilities Research (CCBMDR), in collaboration with the Division of Rehabilitation Services (DRS) of the Illinois Human Services Department and Asian-serving agencies, proposes to launch a 18-month capacity-building outreach project. This new initiative attempts to develop and test a strategy for increasing vocational rehabilitation agencies’ capacity to reach out to Asian American with disabilities, to ensure they will receive services from DRS in the city of Chicago.http://disabilityempowerment.org/Asianproject.html

The prejudice towards Asians with disabilities
I read with interest Andrew Buncombe's article regarding the difficulties faced by people with disabilities in Bangladesh (6 January). I am a British-born Asian and have been insulin-dependent for most of my life. It never ceases to amaze me how prejudiced Asian people are towards any condition which they feel should be swept under the carpet, and not discussed lest it may impinge on the prospect, in the case of women, of child-bearing.http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/letters/letters-the-prejudice-towards-asians-with-disabilities-1301584.html

How is work limitation associated with race and ethnicity?
The NHIS collects information on race and ethnicity. In the working-age population 18 to 69, Native Americans report the highest percentage of limitation in work due to chronic conditions -- 17.3% or 262,000 people. Blacks (non-Hispanics) also have a high rate of limitation -- 14.4% or 2.7 million people. Asian Americans reported the lowest levels of limitation -- 5.7% or 311,000 persons. While white non-Hispanics reported work limitations of 11.6% or 14,261,000 people, white Hispanics reported 9.6% or 996,000 people and black Hispanics reported 15.7% or 60,000. These varying rates may be related to cultural and geographical as well as demographic distinctions.http://www.infouse.com/disabilitydata/workdisability/3_5.php
