2017 Annual Disability Statistics Compendium
Lauer, E. A.; Houtenville, A. J.
Institute on Disability, University of New Hampshire
The "Annual Disability Statistics Compendium" and its compliment, the "Annual Disability Statistics Supplement," are publications of statistics about people with disabilities and about the government programs which serve them. The "Compendium" and "Supplement" are designed to serve as a summary of government statistics. The "Compendium," available both in hard copy and online (at www.disabilitycompendium.org) presents key overall statistics on topics including the prevalence of disability, employment among persons with disabilities, rates of participation in disability income and social insurance programs, as well as other statistics. The "Annual Disability Statistics Supplement", only available online, presents tables with over 150 additional categorizations of data for each section highlighted in the "Compendium". There were several changes to the "2017 Annual Disability Statistics Compendium" and "Supplement". First, the Education section of the "Compendium" was expanded to include not only data on special education program participation and outcomes, but also statistics on educational attainment for all people with disabilities in the United States. Second, the 2017 "Compendium Health" section now identifies persons with disabilities using a methodology consistent with U.S. Census Bureau estimates. Estimates for the Health section have always used Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) data. Third, accessible versions in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) of the 2017 Compendium and 2017 Supplement are now available online. In addition to providing accessible Portable Document Format (PDF) files for download there are also fully text-readable HTML file versions to remove as many barriers as possible for people with disabilities to access this material.
