Our Mission and Vision
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.

COVID-19 Resources for the Disability Community
Access Living will continue to add to and maintain a list of general and disability-specific COVID-19 resources and information.
Survey: Co-Existing with COVID
As part of a new effort, Access Living seeks feedback and questions from people who are newly disabled, including those who may only be temporarily disabled. What information and resources would be most helpful? What barriers have you faced? What do you wish someone would explain to you? Tell us! Response form open until August 7.
The Disability Culture Activism Lab
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.
