Demographic Disability Data in Utah: What’s the Status and Where to Find It

Presenter: Hailey Judd, MPH, CHES

Date: Wednesday, February 19 at 12pm

Finding and understanding disability data can be difficult. As people with disabilities make up a large portion of our communities, it’s important to understand characteristics of people with disabilities through data to better support needs. Join Hailey Judd from the Utah Department of Health and Human Services Healthy Aging Program as she discusses disability data, highlighting disability demographics throughout the state of Utah and our communities. Sources for disability data and mapping tools will also be introduced for you to find disability data relevant to you and your work.

This webinar will cover:

Utah demographic disability statistics
Sources for disability data in Utah and the United States
A live demonstration querying disability data

ADA Highlight - Mobility Devices

Advances in technology have led to new power-driven devices, not specifically designed for people with disabilities, but used by some for mobility. The ADA refers to these as “other power-driven mobility devices,” which include any battery, fuel, or engine-powered device used for movement, like Segways® and golf carts, even if they’re not made for people with mobility impairments.

Public places must allow people with disabilities to use these devices, unless a legitimate safety concern can be proven. Safety concerns must be based on real risks, not assumptions about the devices or how individuals will use them.
