You’re Invited
Please join us for a dynamic and interactive event:
The Accessibility of Motherhood - A Workshop on Disability and Pregnancy

November 1-3, 2021
12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. ET.

Although existing research documents that women with disabilities experience inequities with reproductive health and quality of life compared to women without disabilities, the research remains nascent and incomplete.  Further evidence is needed to expose and support the actions that improve equity for women with disabilities. The goal of this three-day interactive workshop of stakeholders is to identify priority areas of focus and create momentum for the research agenda needed to address inequities in pregnancy outcomes and related health care among women with disabilities, especially the inequities experienced by those from underserved and underrepresented populations.

*** We really value your insights and invite you to join the conversation with your input, questions, and engagement with the moderators and panel members for the last portion of each session.
