NAU’s Institute for Human Development exists to ensure that people with disabilities fully participate in all life experiences. For various reasons, Native Americans with disabilities face a unique set of challenges to achieving gainful employment.
To tackle the issue, the organization received a $3.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services to establish a National American Indian Rehabilitation Training and Technical Assistance Center. As part of this effort, NAU will offer in-person and web-based training and technical assistance to 83 tribal programs funded through the American Indian Vocational Rehabilitation Services.
