 New Freedom Initiative: A Progress Report
Many of the 54 million Americans
with disabilities are deprived of their independence due to
needless barriers. On February 1, 2001, President Bush announced
his New Freedom Initiative to promote the full participation of
people with disabilities in all areas of society by increasing
access to assistive and universally designed technologies,
expanding educational and employment opportunities, and promoting
full access to community life. This report details the progress
the Administration has made to implement the New Freedom
Initiative goal to ensure full integration of people with
disabilities in American society.
