Where disability data drives change
Data is most powerful when shared. The ADSC connects researchers, policymakers, advocates, and community members who are committed to using evidence to inform decisions and strengthen opportunities for all. This year, the Center for Research on Disability is expanding access to data with the new Build Your Own Statistics tool—making it easier than ever to visualize and compare disability data by state, county, or population group. In addition to the release of the Annual Disability Statistics Collection, the 2026 conference will also feature new analyses from our ongoing collaboration with the American Foundation for the Blind, including data on the experiences of older adults with vision loss.
