Image description: A green text bubble reads: NDEAM 2025. Research about disability must include disabled people. Their lived expertise ensures studies center the needs of disabled people, challenge ableist assumptions, and advance justice rather than perpetuate harm. Representation in the field is essential for shaping policies, practices, and knowledge that truly reflect and serve disabled communities. The quote is attributed to Laurin Bixby, who is seen smiling, framed by a blue shadow.

"Employing disabled people in the research field can prevent harm and ensure that research is responsive to the needs of the communities most impacted by the research.” - Laurin Bixby, Research Scientist
