Excerpt from: Not Dead Yet (click for full article)
The National Council on Disability (NCD) “is an independent federal agency charged with advising the President, Congress, and other federal agencies regarding policies, programs, practices, and procedures that affect people with disabilities. NCD is comprised of a team of fifteen Presidential appointees , an Executive Director appointed by the Chairman, and eleven, full-time professional staff.” (Read more about NCD at http://www.ncd.gov/about)
Not Dead Yet has worked with NCD in the past, most notably on their position paper and update on assisted suicide.
Periodically, NCD has “comment opportunities” for stakeholders in the disability community. You can attend and comment in person or by phone. There is a list of meeting and events here.
