New Technical Brief: Building Gateways to Employment and Economic Development Through Disability Entrepreneurship

Access the Brief Here 

 

In this technical brief for the Administration on Disabilities (AoD) Disability Employment Technical Assistance Center (DETAC), Regina "Gina" Kline, Esq., explores historical barriers to disability entrepreneurship and illustrates why the present moment represents an unparalleled opportunity for the growth of disability entrepreneurship as a powerful form of economic development. Gina discusses in detail how a powerful emerging model of entrepreneurial support is breaking through some of the most persistent barriers, and how this presents an opportunity for AoD grantees to play a supporting role in that new model’s growth.
