Chicago Tonight: Latino Voices

Improving Opportunity, Support for Latinos with Disabilities

Clip: 7/30/2022 | 7m 47sVideo has Closed Captions

We talk with advocates about creating a supportive and equitable environment for everyone.

According to a University of New Hampshire analysis, nine percent of America's Latinos live with a disability, ranging from physical and cognitive impairments to mental health disorders. While that's a lower rate than other racial and ethnic groups, Latinos are more likely to be unemployed or drop out of school due to disability. They're also more likely to have worse health outcomes.
