About the Center
The Center for Research on Women with Disabilities promotes, develops, and disseminates information to improve the health and expand the life choices of women with disabilities. It was established in 1993 in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Baylor College of Medicine, under the direction of Margaret A. Nosek, Ph.D.
We invite you to explore and use the wealth of information for women with physical disabilities that we have made available on each of the topics in our A to Z Directory. Please check back regularly as we are constantly updating and expanding this information.
