More than 55 million Americans (1 in 5) have some form of physical, intellectual, or psychological disability.
Over 5 million children have some form of disability. Over 3,250 of these children are served in the Redlands and Yucaipa -Calimesa School District.
There are over 44,000 kids with disabilities served by regional programs and San Bernardino County Schools.
"Only 32% of Americans with cognitive disabilities, age 18 to 64, are working. Work opportunities determine and are determined by the ability to secure affordable, accessible housing; accessible transportation; health care; assistive technology; education; opportunities to socialize, and participate in community and political life. Jobs are the ticket to greater freedom, independence, and the chance to fully participate in and contribute to society."
