Disabled and Neurodivergent Voices in Religion
This session explores the experiences of disabled and neurodivergent people within religious communities, examining questions of inclusion, belonging and accessibility. We consider how lived experiences of disability and neurodivergence challenge dominant assumptions about religious participation, and how centring marginalised voices can help create more inclusive religious spaces.
