Edward Mitchell, an independent living specialist and outreach coordinator, posted a blog on “Advancing Equity: A Financial Toolkit for Individuals with Disabilities.” In the blog, Mitchell brings attention to the importance of financial education for people with disabilities and shares the U.S. Department of Labor’s “Secure Your Financial Future: A Financial Toolkit for People with Disabilities.” “Some basics about finances and savings are universal,” says Mitchell. “But for people with disabilities, additional factors come into play, such as whether they’ve had their disability from birth or acquired it later in life; their diagnosis; access to health care; and their previous work experiences.”
