I am originally from Fort Yukon, Alaska. &nbsp;I currently reside 163 miles NE of the city of Fairbanks, Alaska by road or by plane.&nbsp;My Native Alaskan tribe is Circle Native Community. I am Athabaskan Native. My business name is Sonya&rsquo;s Bed and Breakfast. I started my B&amp;B due to no housing or lodging available to outside tourists or people who come to see the mighty Yukon River and the end of the road on the Steese Highway in interior Alaska. &nbsp;I felt there was a definite need for guests and outsiders who come to see our Village of Circle. My most visited guests are in the months of July through September who are a variety of people. Some are contractors who come to work for the tribe or other affiliations here, tourists, and most of all hunters from all over the United States &amp; beyond. I feel all are unique in their own ways, as to the diverse amount of them who come through here. I am very much enjoying my choice of a B&amp;B. &nbsp;I get to meet new people from all over and learn the different Indigenous peoples. I am most proud to be a Native Indigenous individual with a unique way of serving people as a &ldquo;super host.&rdquo; I reference this term used by Airbnb because guests can find and book their stays on the Airbnb platform.&nbsp;Out of the three meals I cook for my guests, my favorite is the fresh-picked blueberry pancakes, fried moose, &amp; caribou for breakfast. Among others, as I don&rsquo;t go by a menu and I just surprise my guests with a meal of their choice, so they do have a choice of what to eat.&nbsp;I was born and raised in Alaska and I believe my favorite part is having opportunity to be raised to have survival skills, as my ancestors before me. I take pride in my heritage, cultural values, and traditional ways of living in the most beautiful place. In my free time, I like to spend time with family and friends as well as visiting other parts of Alaska but of course, it&rsquo;s always good to be home.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ciara&nbsp;Ladroma</strong>&nbsp;has served the employment and entrepreneurial industries for the last 12 years with a focus on serving people with disabilities, women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ individuals.

The econometric model considers two general sets of factors: 1.) those related to attributable differences in outcomes and 2.) those related to potential policy effects. The former are measured by demographic and disability characteristics and may be used to identify those who should be targeted for intervention. Whereas, policy factors represent a much broader group of variables that may more directly become the targets for policy related intervention strategies. These include psychological, socio-environmental, behavioral, and health factors. The presenter will describe data related to employment status and earnings with the goal of laying the foundation for targeting individuals in need of intervention and the evaluation of the importance of various factors to optimizing outcomes.</p> 1 0 [empty string] [empty string] 1 1 1 [empty string] [empty string] 0 [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] 2500 [empty string] [empty string] 38 16 [empty string] [empty string] 2018-02-15 14:00:00.0 [empty string] 34 1.00 2_15_2018_transcript.docx 2_15_18 f4v 380 640 14 [empty string] https://vcurrtc.org/training/webcasts/archives/view.cfm?webcast=416 [empty string] 2018-02-15 00:00:00.0 416 Utilization of a Labor Force Participation Model in the Assessment of Quality Employment Outcomes for Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis [empty string] [empty string] 0 https://vcurrtc.org/training/viewWebcast.cfm/416 TasHYKPcYEs [empty string] [empty string] [empty string]

It promotes financial stability, a sense of purpose, and an opportunity to interact with other people. Despite decades of legislation and research, employment rates for individuals with disabilities remain much lower than for those without disabilities. The most recent statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistices show that 17.9% of people with disabilities had employment, while 65.3% of individuals without a disability were employed. In 2016, the unemployment rate for individuals with disabilities was 10.5%, compared to 4.6% for those without a disability.&nbsp;</p> <p>Existing research provides information on the barriers and facilitators to employment, but these studies typically present information from the viewpoint of one specific physical disability group. What is not available is a comparison of the barriers and facilitators to employment as reported by people with disabilities themselves across physical disability groups specifically Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Cerebral Palsy (CP). The RRTC on Employment of People with Physical Disabilities RRTC conducted a series of focus groups to engage people with physical disabilities in the design, research, and on-going knowledge translation (KT) activities involved in developing and maintaining a RRTC and national resource center on employment. This Keynote will present the findings from this research and the implications for providing information on employment to individuals with physical disabilities. A panel representing individuals with physical disabilities will respond to the information and present their own life experiences related the barriers and facilitators to employment.</p> 1 0 [empty string] [empty string] 1 1 1 [empty string] [empty string] 0 [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] 2500 [empty string] [empty string] 36 16 [empty string] [empty string] 2018-01-25 14:00:00.0 [empty string] 6 1.00 inge_k_Jan25_2018.rtf 11_30_17 f4v 380 640 14 [empty string] https://vcurrtc.org/training/webcasts/archives/view.cfm?webcast=414 [empty string] 2018-01-25 00:00:00.0 414 People with Physical Disabilities Speak out About They Want and Need to Know About Employment [empty string] [empty string] 0 https://vcurrtc.org/training/viewWebcast.cfm/414 KUHyUZ9yxoo [empty string] [empty string] [empty string]

He is Director of three NIDILRR funded center grants, including the Center on Health Outcomes Research and Capacity Building for Underserved Populations with SCI and TBI, an RRTC on Secondary Conditions in Individuals with SCI, and Successful Employment and Quality Work Life after Severe Disability due to SCI. Dr. Krause has authored 157 articles in peer-reviewed journals (104 as first author). Nearly a quarter of his publications have focused on employment, vocational interests, and socioeconomic outcomes after neurologic injury. He has received several prestigious research awards since 2007, including the American Spinal Injury Association Research Award (2007), which was awarded for a manuscript focused on disparities in earnings after SCI, NARRTC Research Awards (2008, 2011),Patricia McCollom Memorial Research Award from the Foundation for Life Care Planning (2008), the Apple Award from the American Spinal Injury Association (2009), and the American Rehabilitation Counseling Association Research Award (2010), which was conferred for a manuscript examining the effects of pre- and post-injury education on obtaining employment. Dr. Krause, who has tetraplegia of 40 years, was inducted into the SCI Hall of Fame by the National SCI Association in 2008 and received the National Medtronic Courage Award in 2011, the first time it has been awarded to someone in biomedical or rehabilitation research (previous awardees include Sen. Bob Dole, Sen. Max Cleland, Christopher Reeves, Stephen Hawking, Ed Roberts, and Judith Heumann). Most recently, he received the Distinguished Service Award from NARRTC, an award previously made to Sen. Tom Harkin and Sen. Bob Dole. Dr. Krause and the research team are particularly proud of these last two awards as they represent external acknowledgment of the importance of our work to the lives of people with disabling conditions.</p> 1 0 [empty string] [empty string] 1 1 1 [empty string] [empty string] 0 [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] [empty string] 2500 [empty string] [empty string] 36 16 [empty string] [empty string] 2017-08-10 14:00:00.0 [empty string] 33 1.00 08_10_2017_transcript.doc 8_10_17 f4v 380 640 14 [empty string] https://vcurrtc.org/training/webcasts/archives/view.cfm?webcast=393 [empty string] 2017-08-10 00:00:00.0 393 Employment Outcomes after Multiple Sclerosis: Findings Among Participants Identified through Clinical Service Setting [empty string] [empty string] 0 https://vcurrtc.org/training/viewWebcast.cfm/393 dFKkCkHdE5U [empty string] [empty string] [empty string]

It is described in history, economics, sociology, and politics. It has been described in highly esoteric ways by numerous famous intellectuals. In this webcast, we take it down to the everyday level. &nbsp;Social capital is a resource (something you can obtain, use, and invest), a catalyst (something that causes change), and an outcome (with potential benefits to both the individual and the community). &nbsp;Social capital is about the connections we have with others; connections of value to all involved. &nbsp;It is about linking with others in order to build a network, access opportunities and, in turn, contribute to the larger society, through our talents, creativity, energy, and care. &nbsp;Social capital is never depleted by use; rather it expands the more you use it! George Tilson explores social capital as viewed through the eyes of several self-advocates: the importance it plays in their lives &ndash; in their accomplishments, how they handle obstacles, and their future aspirations. &nbsp;We ponder how people with disabilities can build and invest in social capital to create meaningful outcomes in careers, lifelong learning, relationships, independent living, recreational pursuits, and overall community membership.</p> <p>George Tilson, Ed.D., has dedicated his career to helping communities build or enhance programs that support children, youth and adults with disabilities and other life challenges in achieving their personal goals for employment, education, and full community membership. Currently an independent consultant, he provides professional and program development services to state departments of education and labor, schools, local government and community agencies, family/self-advocacy organizations, and corporations. He is frequently sought as a speaker and workshop presenter for associations representing these diverse stakeholders. &nbsp;Areas of Expertise: Career development and employment placement, staff development, training, program evaluation and technical assistance, universal design in educational programming, project management, and business partnerships.</p> <p>Michael Ward, Ph.D., currently coordinates the Transition Special Education Distance Education Certificate Program at George Washington University. &nbsp;Prior to this, he was a Research Associate with the HEATH Resource Center on Postsecondary Education for Individuals with Disabilities and developed several resource documents for students with intellectual disabilities.

This study uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Our first phase of the study used open-ended focus groups to identify themes and patterns among the employment experiences of people with MS and to help us better design a quantitative survey of employment outcomes. We are obtaining completed surveys regarding employment throughout the individuals lives to identify factors that relate to the most successful outcomes. We are using participants who are identified through an MS clinic. The presentation will describe our progress and our findings, along with what those findings mean for people with MS. It will also discuss comparisons with other employment research through the MS society. We will summarize with recommendations for policy-based on the most current findings, considering studies with populations of people with other disabling conditions.</p> <p>James Krause, Ph.D., is a Professor and Associate Dean for Research in the College of Health Professions (CHP) at MUSC.

Dr. Krause has authored 157 articles in peer-reviewed journals (104 as first author). Nearly a quarter of his publications have focused on employment, vocational interests, and socioeconomic outcomes after neurologic injury. He has received several prestigious research awards since 2007, including the American Spinal Injury Association Research Award (2007), which was awarded for a manuscript focused on disparities in earnings after SCI, NARRTC Research Awards (2008, 2011),Patricia McCollom Memorial Research Award from the Foundation for Life Care Planning (2008), the Apple Award from the American Spinal Injury Association (2009), and the American Rehabilitation Counseling Association Research Award (2010), which was conferred for a manuscript examining the effects of pre- and post-injury education on obtaining employment. Dr. Krause, who has tetraplegia of 40 years, was inducted into the SCI Hall of Fame by the National SCI Association in 2008 and received the National Medtronic Courage Award in 2011, the first time it has been awarded to someone in biomedical or rehabilitation research (previous awardees include Sen. Bob Dole, Sen. Max Cleland, Christopher Reeves, Stephen Hawking, Ed Roberts, and Judith Heumann). Most recently, he received the Distinguished Service Award from NARRTC, an award previously made to Sen. Tom Harkin and Sen. Bob Dole.
