For over 35 years, ABILITY Magazine has stood as a premier publication driving awareness, employment, and inclusion for persons with disabilities (PwDs). Founded in 1990 alongside the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the publication quickly gained national acclaim, earning multiple awards and securing newsstand distribution through Time-Warner. Today, as a dynamic digital platform, ABILITY continues its mission to dismantle long-standing stereotypes and redefine perception.
To engage a broader audience and transform public attitudes, ABILITY pioneered a celebrity-driven editorial strategy. By featuring candid interviews with U.S. Presidents, First Ladies, industry executives, elite athletes, and cultural icons, the publication demonstrates that disability is an integral part of the human experience.
Through contributions from leading MDs, PhDs, JDs, U.S. Senators, and renowned advocates, ABILITY Magazine delivers authoritative coverage on health, assistive technology, employment, universal design, and mental health—offering a impactful, cross-cultural perspective on the global disability community.
