Policy Framework
Disability Support Service Portability
A policy framework for keeping disability supports consistent across geographic lines, temporary travel, relocation, and major life changes.
Policy and Research
Our research focuses on disability support service portability and continuity. We study how geography, eligibility rules, and agency procedures influence access during travel, relocation, education, employment, relationships, and other life changes.
Research Focus
Geographic Lock-In
Research on how location-based rules can limit where people live, work, study, travel, and build relationships.
Policy Framework
Enforced Barriers
A framework for identifying barriers created or reinforced through policy, procedures, and administrative practices.
Systems Model
Structural Model of Disability
A model for examining how policy design shapes the choices and opportunities available to people with disabilities.
Administrative Boundaries
Where someone lives can determine which services are available and what happens during a move or trip. Our research maps those gaps and identifies ways to make transitions more dependable.
