Invisible Disabilities: Definitions, Resources, and Example Accommodations
What is the Invisible Condition Database Project?
This project is about creating the largest open-source resource for everyone living with an invisible disability, disease, condition, and chronic illness to be seen, supported, and heard.
This database includes a general category, condition, definition, online resources, online support groups, example workplace and school accommodations, and a shoutout to those who have contributed resources.
There are many resources and support groups online that go unnoticed and with this project, we aim to share your go-to resources with the world!
This list isn’t comprehensive, it’s just the start. And note, that AI was used to support the creation of this resource. There may be errors and this isn’t intentional. If you find an error, please report and it will be fixed ASAP!
