The Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation published an article called, “Saving for Post-Secondary Education: Strategies for Students with Disabilities” in 2009. This article addresses the common misconceptions associated with saving for post-secondary education while receiving Social Security disability benefits. Furthermore, it provides information and resources that are available to these individuals who need assistance with costs of post-secondary education.

The National Council on Disability (NCD) recently released a report, entitled Workforce Infrastructure in Support of People with Disabilities: Matching Human Resources to Service Needs. This report calls for governments at all levels to increase the quality of workforce services to people with disabilities. The need for this report is due to gathered evidence that the number of people with disabilities in the United States will soon increase significantly.
