Disability can be present from birth, develop over time, or arise unexpectedly. More than 70 million adults in the U.S.—1 in 4 people—live with a disability, and this number continues to grow. Some disabilities are visible, others are not, but all experiences are valid and deserve recognition, support, and community.
Join us on June 26 for an engaging conversation on:
- Why disability should be recognized as a natural part of the human experience
- How we can foster a more inclusive world that welcomes and supports people of all abilities
- What resources and opportunities exist to build stronger, more connected communities
- How we can navigate life’s changes with resilience, adaptation, and support
Disability ReFramed is an annual event at GBH designed to consider the opportunities, strategies, and challenges we face as a community and to imagine what the future could be. Join us to meet and network prior to the event and learn more from organizations presenting in the GBH Atrium.
Please send us your great questions for our panelists!
Event registration is FREE but required for the in-person and virtual experience. In-person seating is general admission.

GBH’s Yawkey theater and public spaces are fully accessible, and there will be Covid-conscious seating available in the Atrium (where the livestream will air) for anyone who would prefer a less-crowded space; masks will be available.
