Disability Dialogues Conversation Group

Join us for a monthly discussion group exploring disability culture, connection, and community. Each meeting centers on a specific theme—ranging from creativity and adaptive technology to humor, nature, and history. To keep the group low-barrier and easy to join, instead of reading full books, we pair each topic with short-form resources like a brief article, a quick video, or a podcast episode. Disability isn’t a monolith, so we explore a wide range of themes, backgrounds, and lived experiences. Everyone is welcome, no homework is required, and new members can join anytime. Come connect with a supportive, welcoming group! This month's theme is "Happy Holidays?" Hacks & Reality—sharing real-talk, energy-saving tips, kitchen hacks, and strategies for managing family expectations and holiday stress. To ask questions about the group, get the current month's discussion materials, or join the group's email list, please email Jenni at jacosta@understandingourdifferences.org The Disability Dialogues Group meets monthly at 7pm, usually on the fourth Tuesday of the month but with some schedule adjustments. The group is co-sponsored by Understanding Our Differences, the Newton Commission On Disability, and the Newton Free Library.
