The Committee on Disability Issues in Psychology (CDIP) was awarded a Presidential Citation for its significant accomplishments in promoting knowledge, access and equity for persons with disabilities in psychology and society.
Since its inception, CDIP has made significant contributions to psychology and society at large by promoting the psychological welfare of people with disabilities; contributing to the development and implementation of psychological service delivery models responsive to the needs of people with disabilities through the development of practice guidelines; increasing our awareness of disability issues in psychological science as well as specific research activity in disability areas; and advocating for the inclusion and integration of knowledge about disabilities and disability issues in education, training programs and the professional development of psychologists. On this 25th anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act, we honor the present and past members of the Committee on Disability Issues in Psychology for their visible, vocal and visionary work and their tireless efforts to advance our understanding of disability issues, reduce health disparities and promote equity for individuals with disabilities in psychology and society.
