The term invisible disability seems self-exclamatory. Simply put, it is a disability that cannot be seen when looking at someone. According to the ADA, a disability is a physical or mental impairment that limits one or more major life activities. There is no specification that a disability has to be apparent upon first glance.
In partnership with Access Living’s Arts and Culture Project, the Disability Culture Activism Lab provides teaching and hands-on learning through disability justice–a framework that examines disability in connection to other forms of oppressions and identities.
Access Living is a center of service, advocacy, and social change for people with disabilities led and run by people with disabilities.
We ignite disability power and pride, provide critical services, and break down systemic barriers to create a stronger, more inclusive society.
We envision a world free from barriers and discrimination – where disability is a respected and natural part of the human experience and people with disabilities are included and valued.
