Overview:
People with disabilities are often an overlooked population when it comes to financial coaching and counseling. We can learn from organizations that have recognized the importance of offering these services to this community and the steps they took to implement and ensure that people with disabilities were intentionally included in their financial empowerment initiatives. In 2019, National Disability Institute (NDI) interviewed 15 organizations with disability-related financial empowerment initiatives. We have summarized the insights gathered through these interviews in a series of four briefs. In our previous two briefs, we described the type of organizations that provide financial empowerment services to people with disabilities, how they identified the needs of this population and highlighted critical decision points in designing an intervention. This third brief describes how organizations implemented their program.
