DESCRIPTION:October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEA
 M)\, and the theme for 2019 is "The Right Talent\, Right Now." The U.S. De
 partment of Labor states this year’s theme emphasizes the essential role
  that people with disabilities play in America's economic success\, especi
 ally in an era when historically low unemployment and global competition a
 re creating a high demand for skilled talent. \n\nIn recognition of Nati
 onal Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)\, our guest on ADA Liv
 e! will be Liz Weintraub\, Senior Advocacy Specialist with the Associatio
 n for University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD). Liz is also a graduate of
  the Georgia Leadership and Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (
 GaLEND) interdisciplinary training program at the Center for Leadership in
  Disability at Georgia State University.\n\nMs. Weintraub will discuss her
  personnel career path\, the challenges she has overcome\, and the role th
 at both advocacy and self-advocacy have played in her career success. She 
 will share her work at the AUCD\, including her popular video series “Tu
 esdays with Liz: Disability Policy For All.” She will also share her tho
 ughts on why the unemployment rate remains high for people with disabiliti
 es\, and the importance of thinking about a “career” versus a “job.
 ”\n\nFeatured Organization(s):\n\nAssociation for University Centers on 
 Disabilities (AUCD)\nThe Association of University Centers on Disabilities
  (AUCD) is a membership organization that supports and promotes a national
  network of university-based interdisciplinary programs. Network members c
 onsist of: 67 University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilit
 ies (UCEDD)\, 52 Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (
 LEND) Programs\, and 14 Intellectual and Developmental Disability Research
  Centers (IDDRC). These programs serve and are located in every U.S. state
  and territory and are all part of universities or medical centers. They s
 erve as a bridge between the university and the community\, bringing toget
 her the resources of both to achieve meaningful change. Through its member
 s\, AUCD is a resource for local\, state\, national\, and international ag
 encies\, organizations\, and policy makers concerned about people living w
 ith developmental and other disabilities and their families. AUCD programs
  also train the next generation of leaders in disability-related research\
 , training\, service delivery\, and policy advocacy to insure that this es
 sential work continues.\n\nAll of our member programs have unique strength
 s that they share with each other and the greater disability community. So
 me of our members are exemplary educators. They train professional leaders
 \, individuals with disabilities\, and family members in areas such as ear
 ly care and education\, primary health care\, special education\, and inno
 vative housing and employment programs. Other members excel in basic and a
 pplied research\, model demonstration programs\, systemic reform\, and pol
 icy analysis. Because these programs work collaboratively\, innovations fr
 om one program can be rapidly implemented in communities throughout the co
 untry—thus affecting more lives than any one program could touch.\n\nBy 
 working together\, programs engage in significant research that informs na
 tional policy and best practices. The network emphasizes national and inte
 rnational implementation of innovations in disability-related education\, 
 health care\, and supports and services. It offers leadership on major soc
 ial problems affecting all people with disabilities or special health need
 s.\n
