My NCIL Conference Takeaways

What happens when disability advocates from across the country come together to shape the future of independent living and accessibility?

In this solo episode of We’re Not Stumped, I share my personal reflections after attending the National Council on Independent Living (NCIL) Annual Conference in Washington, D.C., where I represented Ability360 as a member of its Board of Directors.

From celebrating ADA36: We Won’t Go Back to hearing powerful stories from advocates, policymakers, and leaders in the disability community, the conference reinforced why protecting and advancing disability rights remains so important.

In this episode, I discuss:

  •  My biggest takeaways from the conference
  •  Why the Independent Living movement continues to make a difference
  •  The importance of advocacy at the local and national levels
  •  How each of us can help build a more accessible and inclusive future

Whether you’re a person with a disability, a family member, an advocate, or simply interested in creating more inclusive communities, I hope these reflections encourage you to stay engaged and continue moving the conversation forward.
