ABLE Account Resource in American Sign Language

Included are videos that present important information about ABLE accounts by native ASL users. The content offers a clear explanation of the benefits these types of financial accounts can provide people with disabilities. The videos were produced by deaf and hard of hearing members and includes English and Spanish voiceover with captions. 

The accessible video is also a valuable tool for disability advocates and stakeholders to promote financial wellness and community inclusion for people with disabilities. For example, teachers and financial advisors now have an additional tool to positively impact the lives of those within deaf and hard-of-hearing communities across America. 

ABLE accounts can change the way individuals with disabilities and their families participate in the community, build financial wellness, and plan for the future by empowering them to save and invest for the added expenses that come with having a disability without losing access to federal means-tested benefits. With almost 38 million Americans who identify as deaf or hard of hearing, this population stands to benefit greatly from having access to an ABLE account. 

The innovative partnership between the National Association of State Treasurers Foundation (NASTF), ABLE today, Communication Service for the Deaf (CSD), CSD Learns, and the Wells Fargo Foundation brings together leading advocacy organizations, enabling individuals with disabilities to save and spend money without losing eligibility for essential government benefits.
