The Spring 2025 Special Issue of The Developmental Disabilities Network Journal (DDNJ) is a collaboration between DDNJ and WebAIM. This special issue will be focused on digital accessibility and the implications of the newly published final rule revising Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This special issue will be dedicated to evidence-based processes and practices for entities to ensure the accessibility of digital content, information, services, programs, or activities. We are interested in all facets of this topic, welcoming solution-oriented abstracts that help put all state and local government entities on a path toward meeting the new requirements of Title II of the ADA. We need to know not only the challenges, but also solutions within the context of the lived experience of persons with disabilities, their families, and the communities in which they live.

In general, we are looking for articles that demonstrate what works! We want to publish articles that have clear implications for enhancing engagement and partnerships, research, policy, and practice. Abstracts and final articles should reflect a commitment to high quality research methods and ethics.

We will review abstracts by July 29, 2024, and will invite selected articles for full submission by August 2, 2024. Full articles will be due by October 18, 2024.

If you have questions, please contact us at <EMAIL REMOVED> . The Call for Abstracts is available at https://usu.app.box.com/s/67vhlkk726fmtcfeotkvvp0wcp8z3ifz
