Beyond The Box Advocacy works to improve disability policies and systems so people with disabilities have greater freedom to make decisions about their lives. We advance this mission through policy research, direct advocacy, public engagement, and systems strategy.
Our purpose is to connect policy details with their real-world consequences. We identify patterns, develop practical solutions, and bring those ideas into research, advocacy, and public conversations.
We envision disability supports that remain dependable as people's goals, circumstances, and communities change.
The Disabled Dream is our north star for evaluating whether policy expands choice, stability, and room to plan for the future.
We help people and families navigate disability services, understand their options, organize documentation, and address barriers that affect their goals.
We investigate gaps in disability services and develop policy ideas that strengthen continuity, portability, and access.
Writing, speaking, storytelling, education, and partnerships connect disability policy to the people and communities it affects.
We work with organizations on access, accountability, policy, and program design while paying close attention to how decisions operate in daily life.
