Every statistic starts with someone's lived experience.

By sharing your experiences in the the National Survey on Health and Disability, you can help inform future research that leads to better supports and services. Take the survey at kuHealthSurvey.org

Too often, decisions affecting people with disabilities are made without hearing directly from those most affected. The National Survey on Health and Disability is working to change that. Take the survey or learn more kuhealthsurvey.org

When Research Fraud Steals From Disabled Communities
Poul Thorsen's guilty plea to stealing $1 million in CDC autism research funds isn't just financial crime. It's about who pays when public trust in disability research collapses.

Many thanks to Harriet Clarke for this testimonial for 'Disabling Capitalism: A Critical Inquiry Into Work, Productivism and Disablement' - due to be published with @brisunipress.bsky.social in early 2027 & can be preordered now.
#Capitalism #Disability #DisabilityResearch #NewBook
''Disabling Capitalism offers compelling research underpinning a vital political analysis of how 'welfare' policies and economic structures and practices organise work, work that can be unseen, unpaid and unequally valued. By centring the lived experiences of disabled people navigating on-demand labour, Chis challenges the persistent (and harmful) belief that work-centric policy is inherently benign. Her bold contribution opens up new ways of understanding work and disability, and invites us to imagine more hopeful futures.'' - Harriet Clarke, Associate Professor in Social Policy, University of Birmingham

Funding for disability research? One of professors I know does research on disability issues in computer science like adaptive tech that was formerly funded by nsf & others. Overnight the research to include accessibility to software has disappeared… ideas on how to push back?
