National Disability Institute

Mission

The mission of National Disability Institute is to build a better economic future for Americans with disabilities.

Vision

We envision a world where people with disabilities have equal opportunity to achieve financial stability and independence as people without disabilities.

Values

NDI has identified three enduring values that guide all decision making and activities and will help set strategic direction for the future.

• We value all individuals across the spectrum of disability to be productive and contribute to the vitality of communities regardless of race, gender, cultural background and age.
• We value self determination and informed decision making that empower individuals with disabilities to have choices and direction that respect their individual preferences.
• We value the benefit of collaboration among all important stakeholders in the public and private sectors to design, implement, and improve opportunities for individuals with disabilities to participate in the economic mainstream and advance their financial independence.
