Including Disability Global Summit

Including Disability Global Summit

“The preeminent international jamboree for disabled people.”

– Dr. Paul T. Jaeger, Co-Chair and Co-Founder

Welcome to Including Disability!

Including Disability is an international forum for dialogue and collaboration about large-scale societal, technological, political, and other barriers that challenge disabled people. With our journal, summit, and podcast, we bring together researchers, educators, practitioners, advocates, family, and disabled people from across professional, geographic, and disciplinary boundaries.
