Since 2008, INCIGHTful Transitions curriculum has been developed by a team of educators at INCIGHT. All the lessons focus on important skill development for students and jobseekers with disabilities, helping them to better equip themselves for college, career and life in general. We wanted to share a behind-the-scenes look at the process. Lesson preview Last winter, INCIGHT interviewed Karen Gaffney for an article in The Understanding. She shared her story about how staying

On the day of my thirteenth birthday, my birthday cake rested on the table— I was now entering the most significant years of my life—or so they say. The best years, they call them—my teen years.  As I blew out the candles, perhaps my destiny was set. Two months later, my life changed completely. It took a turn no human could predict. I’d fallen sick, but this sickness was no cold, no ache that would fade with time. It would last my whole life, and I’d have to grow to accept t

INCIGHT’s mission has always been rooted in changing hearts and minds about how society views disability. Each year, INCIGHT Scholars exemplify this mission through their leadership, advocacy, and commitment to creating a more inclusive world. One remarkable example is Jada Yang, a sophomore at the University of California, Berkeley, who is quickly emerging as a powerful voice in disability rights and public policy.

Pia Gilgen, INCIGHT Director of Education, shares the history behind the INCIGHT Scholarship Program and the impact it has made

Shayna Jones is an INCIGHT scholar and was invited to share her story in The Understanding Digital, which is all about sharing positive disability perspectives. Her story is called "Finding My Voice"

am honored to share this beautiful story that I have titled “A Masterpiece in the Making”. Yes, it is a story about art, but the true masterpiece in the making is the artist, Kobey Bonin. Kobey’s disability is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. He was diagnosed around the age of 12 and got his first wheelchair at 15. Today at the age of 27, he is an inspiration to many throughout the art and disability communities.

We are grateful to all the participants and members of the INCIGHT Community. We had the opportunity to interview some of our previous scholarship recipients and jobseekers and asked them to share the impact they are making in the world. With a special focus on DIVERSITY, we also asked them to share what this word means and why it matters to them.

When I started my newsletter, Hello, Adversity, in 2023, I had modest expectations. Although I was excited to write about how I’ve cultivated resilience on my rare disease journey, I didn’t know if I’d be able to keep up a consistent writing habit, or if anyone would want to read what I had to say. But I did know this: I desperately needed a creative outlet. 

Scott Hatley, Executive Director at INCIGHT, explains the meaning and importance of "Changing Hearts & Minds", which is the first of three pillars in the INCIGHT mission statement.

When you leverage obstacles, you face the challenge head on, showing who you are and what you are capable of. At its core is human potential, and being able to fully tap into and unlock your greatest abilities.
