Pregnant people with disabilities often encounter healthcare systems unprepared to support them: providers unfamiliar with their bodies, physical barriers that shouldn't exist, and assumptions that interfere with good care.

The Accessible Pregnancy Action Plan (APAP) is a peer-led intervention that helps pregnant people with disabilities identify what matters most and develop a concrete plan to get there. Working with a trained peer facilitator, participants think through their needs during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum – medical, practical, physical, and emotional.

Whether you work in healthcare, disability services, or ADA compliance, you'll leave with concrete understanding of how this intervention supports pregnant people with disabilities in getting the care they deserve.
