Disabled World
Disability News, Information, and Resources
One of the best-known and most popular websites for the disability community, Disabled World covers a wide range of problems and experiences that the 1.3 billion people (or 16%) who live with major disabilities encounter on a global scale. We are an independent publisher that was founded in 2004 with the goal of giving people with disabilities, their families, caregivers, and researchers access to trustworthy news, disability data, and helpful information. In addition to releasing our own studies, articles, and polls, we also publish peer-reviewed material that we receive from reputable sources such as educational institutions, governments around the world, and disability organizations.
Disability is a subject you may not think of as something that may happen to you. However, your chances of becoming disabled, or a person with disability are greater than you realize. During our lifetime, almost all of us will have some type of disability. No one is excluded from joining this group including celebrities and world leaders.
