Feature Issue on Engaging Communities Underrepresented in Disability Research
Impact@35 Talk to Us!
The next issue of Impact will look back on 35 years of feature issues dedicated to wide-ranging topics in the field of intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. We’d love to hear from readers, former issue editors, and authors, and may include some of these stories in our forthcoming issue. Did an article you read spark an idea for your research? Did writing your own personal story open up new life or career pathways? Has your organization pivoted since being profiled in Impact? Or do you just want to share your thoughts on how far the disability community has come – and where it needs to go – in its quest for full inclusion? Send your thoughts and photos to stew0390@umn.edu.
The first issue of Impact sits on a table with the current issue of Impact.

The University of Minnesota stands on Miní Sóta Makhóčhe, the rightful homelands of the Dakhóta Oyáte. We recognize the U.S. did not uphold its end of these land treaties. It is the current and continued displacement of the Dakhóta Oyáte that allows the University to remain today.
Ongoing oppression and discrimination in the United States has led to significant trauma for many people of color, immigrants, people with disabilities, and other oppressed persons. At ICI, we affirm our commitment to address systemic racism, ableism and all other inequalities and forms of oppression to ensure inclusive communities.
