Abstract
For over a decade, AccessComputing has worked to increase the participation of people with disabilities in computing fields. A key component of this work is to influence institutional change in educational institutions, computing organizations, government labs, and industry companies. This paper considers lessons learned in working with these partners in ensuring that disability is included in larger conversations around diversity.
