New Website for Adolescents with Disabilities to Learn about Reproductive Health

Ability For Life Website Landing Page

A new website developed by obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Monica Woll Rosen and pediatric Urologist Dr. Courtney Streur seeks to create an inclusive space where young women with a physical disability can be empowered by learning about their bodies.

This online learning community is the product of collaboration with young women with disabilities, parents, health care providers, and other “experts.” 

This work was sponsored by the Women's Health Initiative Innovation Fund.
