Chair, Disability Committee

The Disability Committee (DC) elevates the voices of those marginalized groups within the disability community. Explicit in this charge is the social responsibility to ensure greater representation of diversity in differences of ability, to include members with visual, auditory, verbal, physical, mental, and neurodivergent differences who can maintain the essential functions of psychologists. We make a conscious decision to gain representation from intersecting identities (ethnic, racial, and gender diversity) to better serve our disability constituency and provide culturally competent recommendations. Explicit attention is devoted to conducting research and developing trainings to inform the field of psychology on disability issues.
