Disability Rights

This event commemorates a half-century of groundbreaking advocacy with the Boston Community for Independent Living's (BCIL) 50th Anniversary celebration.

Our February webcast, "Designing Inclusively, Educating Globally with Architects" featuring visionary architects Chris Downey (U.S.A.) and Deepak K.C. (Nepal) is now available on YouTube.

IHCD is thrilled to announce the appointment of Taciana Ribeiro Saab, our new Director of the New England ADA Center (NEADA), as of November 16th. Taciana brings a wealth of experience and passion for creating positive change in disability justice.

Mark your calendars for an inspiring evening on Thursday, September 7th at Phoenix Books in Burlington, Vermony. We are thrilled to invite you to join us in celebrating the journey of Dr. Sefakor G.M.A. Komabu-Pomeyie, a dedicated advocate for inclusivity and change.

We're excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar, "Addressing the Opioid Crisis with the ADA and Civil Rights Laws." This informative session will shed light on the positive impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and federal civil rights statutes in combatting the opioid crisis.

Are you aware of the rights and protections the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) offers individuals with alcohol and substance use disorders? The ADA ensures that everyone, including those with addiction and in recovery, has equal opportunities and protections.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elias Abarbanel-Wolff on April 4, 2023.  Eli had a 20+ year relationship with IHCD where he pursued his extraordinary global advocacy in our headquarters for more than five years and collaborated frequently.
