Disability Data Dashboard

Introducing an interactive dashboard to learn more about people with disabilities: Parents with Disabilities Dashboard & Community Living Equity Dashboard. Historically, data about people with disabilities and their experiences has been difficult to access, navigate, and understand. Our interactive data dashboards offer a solution for advocates, policymakers, and researchers, portraying information about parents with disabilities and community living services in visually engaging and easy-to-use ways. We hope these dashboards can serve as an effective tool for disability advocates to further the rights, access, and inclusion of the disability community.

Disability Dashboards

The Johns Hopkins Disability Health Research Center uses a data-driven approach to advance equity for people with disabilities. We recognize that data is a powerful tool for change. Our growing list of dashboards provides access to a range of disability information. By prioritizing accessibility, we aim to create resources that everyone can use. These dashboards were created to support evidence-based policies, and shift the paradigm from ‘living with a disability’ to ‘thriving with a disability’.
