Mission
The K. Lisa Yang and Hock E. Tan Institute on Employment and Disability works toward a world where people with disabilities are fully included in the workplace and community by advancing knowledge, policies, and practice that enhance equal opportunities for all people with disabilities.
Building on work that began in the 1960s, researchers and practitioners at the Yang-Tan Institute (YTI) have helped companies, labor organizations, government agencies, schools and communities throughout the U.S. and abroad to accommodate and integrate individuals with disabilities. We consult with business and industry, and with policymakers, educators, disability advocates and rehabilitation practitioners.
The YTI Process
YTI cultivates a unique combination of research and outreach. Our research provides the science to move communities forward around disability inclusion, and our outreach communicates that information to create meaningful change in areas such as community life, education, training, and work.
YTI is unique due to its combination of researchers, instructors, and other professionals in the disability field – along with designers and web developers – who focus on the meaningful inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of life. We provide the science to move communities forward around disability inclusion.
