2023 ICDR Virtual State of the Science Conference on Disability Statistics

The State of the Science Conference on Disability Statistics was conducted by the Interagency Committee on Disability Research (ICDR) on February 9 and 10, 2023, to convene federal, state, academic, and other partners to discuss the state of the science in disability statistics. The goals of the conference were to: (1) discuss the current state of pressing topics in disability statistics including research on disability using linked datasets, disability as a demographic variable, and identifying people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in national data; (2) establish collaborative relationships across stakeholder groups; and (3) discuss future directions in disability statistics. The ICDR has published a document with several key highlights from the conference, in addition to a full summary report of the meeting.
