According to a 2016 national telephone survey conducted by the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS):

MILLION adults identified as having some type of disability

This means that 1 out of 4 people have a disability in the U.S.

According to BRFSS data from 2016 to 2018 around

MILLION Latinx identify with some type of disability

The National Coalition for Latinxs with Disabilities (CNLD) is a volunteer organization comprised of Disabled Latinx leaders and allies from across the nation. We came together in 2016 to form CNLD because we shared the experience of living fractured identities (in Disabled and Latinx worlds, respectively). Since then, CNLD has grown into a network of colleagues who have become like family.
