Agency Mission

    The National Council on Disability is an independent federal agency 
composed of 15 members appointed by the President of the United States 
and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Its overall purpose is to promote 
policies, programs, practices, and procedures that guarantee equal 
opportunity for all people with disabilities, regardless of the nature 
of severity of the disability; and to empower people with disabilities 
to achieve economic self-sufficiency, independent living, and inclusion 
and integration into all aspects of society.
    This committee is necessary to provide advice and recommendations 
to NCD on international disability issues.
    We currently have balanced membership representing a variety of 
disabling conditions from across the United States.
