InvisAbilities

Outreach

Although notions of disability have evolved over the years to form a more inclusive understanding of disability, stigma and stereotypes remain prevalent. InvisAbilities was created to highlight the often-forgotten facet of disability: conditions which are not apparent at first glance. Hidden disabilities are common, especially among young adults. InvisAbilities facilitates understanding through the development of peer-to-peer networks and awareness initiatives.

InvisAbilities is open to everyone, with a focus on young adults with and without illness. Interested in Medicine/Patient Care? InvisAbilities may be of particular interest to individuals pursuing a career in medicine or patient care (in majors such as Life Science, Nursing, Kinesiology, Psychology, Sociology etc.)
