RESOURCES


A curated list of free resources pertaining to debility, disability (including neurodivergence), disability history, disability rights, Disability Justice, community support, accessibility, and other pertinent tools. 

Please note that, as part of maintaining an archive about our community, some materials may contain outdated concepts, harmful language, or documentation of exceptionally traumatic events. We encourage you to pause and move through this section with care, after assessing your capacities at this very moment.


Additionally, please note that the information gathered does not necessarily reflect the ethos of Cripple. Some materials are preserved for contextual and historical accuracy—not endorsement—and remain part of the record to trace how disability has been framed, represented, misrepresented, and contested over time.

Cripple is also continually expanding these resources. Because many links direct to external sites, some may change or stop working over time—this, too, is part of the archival process. Cripple reviews and updates the collection on an ongoing basis, within our capacity. Thank you for your patience consideration when a link is disabled.

If you are using a screen reader, the list below is fully hyperlinked, arranged in alphabetical order, and includes hashtags at the very end. Do you have suggestions of content to add? To remove? Updated links? Anything else? Please contact cripple at studio (at) cripple (dot) info.

© 2026 cripple, Emily Sara

Cripple is a publishing initiative founded by Emily Sara as an extension of her art, design, writing, and educational practice.

Additional code support for this website has been provided by Mariah Barden Jones who is available for design work and can be found at seahorsegirl.world. Original logo design of cripple was created by Mia Navarro, in 2020. Mia is also available for design work and can be found at mianavarro.com
Image description, alt text embedded: The cripple logo. A neon green rectangle holds a thick, bold black letter C at its center. The letter is irregular, with frayed breaks in its stroke that resemble two mouths opening at either end—or perhaps two claws. It echoes the original cripple logo by disabled designer Mia Navarro, carrying a similarly eerie, unsettling presence. A counternarrative to the trope of the “model” disabled person—the one who doesn’t make a fuss and who is easy to look at, digest. It recognizes our disabled lineage within the landscapes of horror as well as the freak show. The word cripple sits adjacent to the bottom right of the C. The descenders on the p’s extend slightly too long, like a pair of crutches.
Image description, alt text embedded: The first iteration of the cripple logo of 2020. It is of a neon green rectangle with black, thin and wonky lettering that spells out the word cripple. It was designed by Mia Navarro and feels a bit eerie and unsettling. The letters were created using steel wire, photography, and digital drawing.
