The National Organization on Disability (NOD) is a private, nonprofit organization that promotes the full participation and contributions of America’s 56 million people with disabilities in all aspects of life. Today, the National Organization on Disability focuses on increasing employment opportunities for the 80-percent of working-age Americans with disabilities who are not employed.
