Research, advocacy, lived experience, and public understanding all contribute to policy change. You can take part in the areas that fit your experience and interests.
Contributions can include experience, expertise, time, connections, or a platform for sharing useful information.
Your experiences with disability services can help reveal patterns that deserve closer attention. We welcome stories about moving, travel, service interruptions, Medicaid, home and community-based services, administrative barriers, work, education, and other changes in life.
Researchers, students, practitioners, and community members can contribute ideas, sources, data, and subject-matter knowledge that deepen our understanding of disability policy and service continuity.
Advocates and community organizations can connect with us around recurring policy problems, emerging issues, and opportunities to strengthen disability services and accountability.
Conferences, classrooms, community gatherings, panels, and public programs can create space for clearer conversations about disability policy and the lives those policies shape.
Share material from our resource library when it can support a conversation, class, project, or advocacy effort.
Follow our work and reach out when a policy question, project, or experience connects with our focus.
If you share a personal experience with us, you can tell us how you are comfortable having that information used. We will ask for clear permission before identifying you or sharing your story publicly.
