Abstract
Finding consistent and comprehensive statistics on disabilities around the world can prove extremely challenging, due to differences in definitions, tracking frequencies, and the number of agencies tracking those numbers. Kim Dority provides valuable insights on how and where to get started with disabilities research, including a list of international organisations collecting that data.

Finding consistent and comprehensive statistics on disabilities around the world can prove extremely challenging, due to differences in definitions, tracking frequencies, and the number of agencies tracking those numbers. Kim Dority provides valuable insights on how and where to get started with disabilities research, including a list of international organisations collecting that data.
What's Inside:
For global statistics, 'the usual suspects,' i.e. the United Nations and UNICEF, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) are the best sources. As one would expect, the more advanced socially and economically a given country is, the more likely that country is to track the health and social well-being of its citizens with disabilities. For those countries that do not track these statistics themselves, however, the trans-national agencies are the best starting point.
