New Publication – BBI’s Senior Director for Law and Policy Jonathan Martinis featured in an article by the ABA today. Addressing the School-to-Guardianship Pipeline

March 17, 2025

Approximately 1.5 million adults are under active guardianship or conservatorship, according to Bloomberg Law. An unknown number of these adults are young adults with disabilities, often intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD). These young adults are often funneled into guardianship by what the National Council on Disability (NCD) in its 2018 report called the “school-to-guardianship pipeline,” a phenomenon where schools are, by default, recommending to parents that they start the process of assuming guardianship over their disabled child before they become an adult.

New Research Brief – Exploring Disparities in Poverty Rates Among People with Disabilities

February 7, 2025

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted in 1990 to promote, among other goals, economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities. Nevertheless, many people with disabilities do not achieve this goal. In fact, people with disabilities and other underserved groups are disproportionately affected by poverty. Research shows that having a disability results in a higher risk of experiencing poverty. Underlying explanations point to people with disabilities not only having fewer opportunities for well-paying jobs, but also having extra costs associated with their disabilities, including medical treatment, care, housing, and transportation. Despite this well-established link between poverty and disability, the relationship between these factors and other characteristics such as race, ethnicity, and gender, remains understudied.

New Research Brief – Dismantling Barriers: How Disability, Race, and Other Characteristics Influence Employment Outcomes

Overview:

Purpose: Since the 1960s, federal and state governments and private-sector companies have used supplier diversity initiatives to ensure their supply chains include businesses owned by traditionally economically disadvantaged or underrepresented groups. Originally concentrated on racial and ethnic minority groups, programs have expanded to include businesses owned by women, veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, and, in some cases, people with disabilities. This study investigates the extent to which disability is included in supplier diversity initiatives of Fortune 500 companies.

Methods: This paper uses a novel data set created by the authors with information on supplier diversity initiatives and Disability, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) statements in Fortune 500 companies extracted from public sources. This information is combined with data from Compustat, a corporate financial database published by Standard and Poor’s and additional variables from other sources.

Results: 75% of the Fortune 500 companies have supplier diversity programs that express a commitment to diversity yet only 49% of those with such programs include disability-owned businesses (38% of all Fortune 500 companies). Among the largest 100 companies, 89% had supplier diversity programs that included disability, almost 6 times the rate Ball et al. reported in 2005. This study finds disability inclusion varies significantly by company size, industry, and whether the company is a government contractor.

Conclusion: Despite the growth in disability inclusion, the absence of disability as a diversity category in regulations mandating supplier diversity initiatives for government contractors impacts disability inclusion. If we want to align our supplier diversity programs with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the first step is to address the issue in the Small Business Administration and federal contracting requirements.

Dr. Fitore Hyseni is the Director of Research at the Burton Blatt Institute (BBI) at Syracuse University, where she leads projects focused on improving socio-economic outcomes for people with disabilities. In this role, she oversees the development and management of grant-funded research while mentoring and supporting research staff. Her work centers on advancing disability rights and socio-economic inclusion, ensuring that research makes a tangible difference in people’s lives and aligns with BBI’s mission.

Dr. Hyseni holds a PhD in Social Science and a Master’s in Public Administration from Syracuse University, along with a Bachelor’s in Public Policy and Economics from Rochester Institute of Technology.

Her latest work involves a randomized control trial with Fortune 500 companies, aiming to reduce stigma and improve accommodation practices for employees with disabilities.

Dr. Hyseni’s research has appeared in publications such as the Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation and the Journal of Cancer Survivorship. She has presented her work at national and international conferences, including the Academy of Management (AOM) and the American Sociological Association (ASA), and her work has been recognized by numerous awards and grants.
