The Disability and Advocacy Research Network is for folks with disabilities in psychology at any career stage (including students).
We also welcome allies and those who study, work with, and/or teach about disability. Following a social model perspective, anyone who identifies or is viewed by others as having a disability can be considered to have a disability. This includes but is not limited to physical, sensory, cognitive, invisible, chronic illness, and mental health conditions. DARN facilitates community building, mentoring, professional development, and resource sharing.

DARN Research Subgroup
Co-led by Jordan Rubin-McGregor and William Meese
