Disability Inclusion

At Abt Associates, we take an intersectional approach to disability and inclusion. Abt designs its programs, research, and all stages of development processes to be inclusive of and accessible to all people, including those living with disabilities. Inclusive design principles often result in better products while also ensuring access. We analyze the intersections between disability status, age, ethnicity, socio-economic status, and gender identity when designing programs, with a focus on key sectors such as inclusive education, health services, and economic empowerment. We apply this lens both within the US and around the globe.
