This information is being forwarded on behalf of Innivee Strategies.

?

Innivee Strategies is conducting a needs assessment on aging and disability on behalf of a large nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that advocates for older adults to better understand the experiences of people with disabilities.

?

This needs assessment will gather information about the experiences and perspectives of people aged 45 years and older with a hearing, vision, and/or mobility disability. Data will be collected on whether and how people with disabilities prefer to self-identify, their lived experience, quality of life, and more.

?

This needs assessment will have a positive impact on the lives of millions of Americans who are disabled as they age. You can read more about this project here (link [ [link removed] ]) Here's how you can get involved:
