About National Council on Disability

The National Council on Disability (NCD) was initially established in 1978 as an advisory board within the United States Department of Education to guarantee equal opportunity for people with disabilities. NCD is composed of 15 members, appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. The Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1984 made NCD an independent agency. It is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
