Surveys
A group of advocacy organizations is conducting a survey about problems with air travel for passengers with disabilities in order to set revised and updated standards for wheelchair handling, labeling, storage, airline and airline contractor training.Survey: Do you use a service animal?
Are you a US resident (Age 18+) who uses a service animal or other animal that assists you with your disability? If not, are you the parent of a child who uses such an animal?
If so, the Southwest ADA Center (www.southwestada.org) would like to learn about your experiences with accessing public places with your animal. We invite you to complete the following anonymous survey at:
http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/3773597/Assistance-Animal-Survey
The information gathered from the survey will help the Southwest ADA Center
- understand what access issues people are having with their animals; and
- to develop information, support, and guidance needed for the community to improve access for users of assistance animals.
These findings will also improve the trainings and technical assistance that the Southwest ADA Center can provide to the public on this topic.

Workplace Accommodations Research Study
Florida State Unviversity is looking for participants for a research study. This study is being conducted by Stacy Rademacher, a graduate student, under the supervision of Dr. Shengli Dong from the Department of Education at Florida State University. I am looking for individuals with disabilities who have made decisions about asking for accommodations in the workplace and could use your help in reaching out to possible participants. Would it possible for you to share this email or the survey link below with those in your organization? More information about the study is provided below.
Those who are interested in participating are invited to share their perceptions on job accommodations requests through (a) answering a few questions about themselves and the organization that they are working with, and (b) completing a few measures on their ability to request accommodations, as well as on their feelings and emotions in the process of requesting accommodations. This survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete and has been approved by the Internal Review Board at Florida State University.
Individuals who choose to complete the survey will be eligible to enter a lottery and have a chance to win 1 of 4 $25 amazon gift cards. In addition, they will be assisting us to learn more about how to improve the job accommodation process.

Part 2 of the Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities Annual Survey: Impact of the Aging Population
The Texas Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities conducts an annual survey on an aspect of living in Texas with a disability. This year the Committee is interested in examining the impact of the aging population across our ten issue areas, which are: access, communication, education, emergency management, health, housing, recreation, transportation, veterans and workforce.
Today, people are living longer and the U.S. population in general is increasingly older. Beginning in 2005, Texas has experienced the largest annual population growth of any state. Seniors, those over 65 years of age, are projected to more than triple in size from 2010 to 2050, approaching 7.9 million. The age category including those 45 to 64 years of age is projected to be the second fastest growing age group, growing 55% by 2050 to a population of over 9.3 million. Much of the population growth in Texas is projected to come from the large urban counties of Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar, and Travis, but the fastest growth is projected to occur in the suburban rings surrounding these counties. (data from Texas State Demographer reports)

This year the survey will be divided into two parts. Part 1 was made available for the month of July. Part 2 is now available for the month of August.
