This is about the best disability groups on Facebook FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
It’s available in distraction-free (- no ads) PDF for my patrons, linked here. It’s also at the end of this post for people who benefit from access to PDFs.
Cross-Disability Community on Facebook
“Cross disability” means all disability.
It means inclusive of all disability communities.
There are a lot of disability-specific groups on Facebook, and very interest-specific-disability groups (- like Deaf Entrepreneurs, for example), but this post is focusing on groups that are specifically set to include ALL disabilities. It is also only focusing on private and active groups. If I saw that a given cross-disability group has not been active in a year, I did not include it.
Why Disability Community on Facebook?
While disability community has always been crucial for us in our need to connect, it seems more important than ever to have it right here and now.
The reason for that is that as we reach towards each other, we find strength and gain ideas. Like the campers did in Crip Camp, our connections with each other can provide the steam to fuel a revolution. And we need a revolution!
The cross-disability groups listed below are FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
If you do not have a disability, they are not the spaces for you!
While all of the groups listed below are private groups, and as such, are safer than public, please still read my tips for staying safe in Facebook groups at the end of this post. A note about the “safe spaces” of facebook groups: please read the tips at the end of this post on ways to stay safe in Facebook groups. You can also download the tips here

3 Things to Remember When Engaging in a Facebook Group!
Privacy Settings
While enjoying a group, it’s always a good idea to triple-check the group privacy settings.
If a group is public, it means that everything you post can be seen by all of your friends and all of the world.
2. Remember that people can take screenshots of what you post
Not to to get paranoid about what you post, but it’s a good idea to keep that kernel of truth in the back of your head.
People take screenshots. In some groups they ask that you not, or have members promise to not take screenshots, but promises can be broken. Think before you post!
3. All the Common Sense Stuff
- AND!
- Be careful with who you message or become friends with from groups.
- Report things that look suspicious.
- Be wary of anything that involves money.

Please note: it does cost me time and money to produce these PDF’s, so I truly appreciate it if you become a patron (- even $1/month) and download the PDF’s (and MP3’s, when I have them) that way.
However, I will always keep these as a free option, for those of you who have disabilities that need that access, and who may not be able to afford becoming my patron at this point.
