Louis Harris and Associates, Inc. conducted
the 1986 ICD Survey: Employing Disabled Americans for the International Center
for the Disabled (ICD) in New York, in cooperation with the National Council on
the Handicapped in Washington, DC., with major sponsorship from the Presidents
Committee on Employment of Individuals with Disabilities. For the study, 921
employers of disabled Americans were interviewed about a variety of work and
non-work issues. Four groups of business persons were interviewed: equal
employment officers, chief executive officers, department heads/line managers,
and top management personnel. Employers were questioned about their attitudes
and experiences regarding employment of persons with disabilities, the impact
of job discrimination, and differences between disabled and non-disabled
employees.

the 1991 NOD Survey of Public Attitudes Toward People with Disabilities for The
National Organization On Disability (NOD), in cooperation with the National

creation and implementation of policies concerning public participation of
disabled people. This landmark study documented for the first time what the
public at large thinks about disabled people.
