Summary

This report describes research undertaken in an effort to learn more about the supply of financial literacy supports to people with disabilities, gaps in resource provision and key causes of these gaps. Using multiple and complimentary methods including internet sampling, key informant interviews, and literature review, a national environmental scan of the financial literacy products and services for people with disabilities and their caregivers was conducted. Demographic information about the providers of these supports was collected, as was information on the format, delivery and topics covered by the interventions. The audiences targeted and the design and modifications used to make the interventions accessible were also identified. A discussion of the key findings traces the gaps in delivery of financial literacy to this population, and key conclusions are drawn.
