ABSTRACT
People with disabilities represent a large and often under-recognized minority population in the United States. Historically, negative healthcare provider perceptions and limited critical social determinants of health (including community living and education) have resulted in inequitable healthcare and access for this vulnerable group. Within the last 40 years, there have been some advances in legislation to improve access and support for those with disabilities. Since then, advances in accommodations have enabled better access to critical health-related resources and care. Continued forward progress and increased awareness are imperative to improve access, reduce disparities in healthcare, and combat discrimination.
