| مستخلص: | Despite growing attention to addressing racial, ethnic, and other inequities in many domains, limited research explores whether and how society's marginalization of people with disabilities compounds for immigrants to produce inequitable financial outcomes. When accessing education and employment, immigrants with disabilities face challenges due to their disability status, citizenship and immigration status, race, ethnicity, and language. This summary highlights key takeaways from a convening of nine experts from universities, research organizations, and community organizations knowledgeable about the intersection of immigration and disability. The goal of the meeting was to identify barriers to financial well-being among immigrants with disabilities in education and employment. Participants discussed how the Protection and Advocacy systems (P&As), which provide legal representation and advocacy for people with disabilities, can help better inform this population of their rights as disabled people and how community-based organizations (CBOs) can bridge gaps in access to education and employment supports. The summary concludes with directions for future research. [Additional funding provided by the Capital One Foundation.] |
