Survey Results - Question Four

Is information from disability research useful to your organization?

When all stakeholder groups' responses were aggregated, 84 percent reported disability research was useful to their organizations.

Examining individual groups, 96 percent of RESNA respondents indicated that disability research is useful, followed by 94 percent of MEDIA. Only one stakeholder group had less than 80 percent of respondents reporting that information from disability research was useful to their organization. Interestingly, only 61 percent of Legislators/Aides found this information useful, while 29 percent of this group responded 'Don't Know'.
