We create disabled leaders.

Disability Reimagined is a leadership development organization committed to helping disabled adults build the tools, language, support systems, and confidence to lead their lives with disability included.

Founded by Charlie Kramer, Disability Reimagined exists because disabled people are too often taught to hide, minimize, apologize, or prove they can function without support.

At Disability Reimagined, we believe something different.

Disabled people are not problems to solve.
Disabled people are untapped leaders.

Our work helps disabled adults stop shrinking and start leading — in their careers, communities, relationships, organizations, and daily lives.

What we do

We partner with corporations, nonprofits, foundations, and disability-centered organizations to support disabled employees, members, and communities through practical leadership development.

Our programs and trainings help disabled people:

  • communicate their needs with clarity

  • build confidence through real tools

  • navigate accommodations and support

  • set boundaries without apology

  • strengthen self-advocacy

  • develop leadership with disability included

Our work is practice, structure, language, support, and implementation.

Our Coaching Model

Disability Reimagined is led by people who have lived this work.

Our coaching team includes five trained graduates of our leadership development programs who now work directly with clients, facilitate bootcamps, and support participants inside the Self-Leadership Experience.

Our clients are not being supported by people who only understand disability leadership in theory. They are being coached by disabled leaders who have practiced these tools in their own lives and are trained to help others apply them in real time.

That is part of what makes our model so unique.

We do not just teach leadership.

We develop disabled leaders who can support other disabled leaders.

Who We Work With

We bring Disability Reimagined programming to:

  • corporations that want to better support and retain disabled employees

  • ERGs and internal disability communities

  • organizations that serve people with disabilities

  • foundations and nonprofits building stronger support pathways

  • teams that want practical disability leadership training

Our work is especially valuable for organizations that know awareness is not enough.

Disabled employees and community members need tools they can use in real life.

What We’ve Done

Disability Reimagined has partnered with organizations to bring disabled self-leadership, accessibility, and support-centered programming to the people they serve.

Our work includes:

  • Self-Leadership Experience partnerships with Opus and the Foundation Fighting Blindness

  • Foundation Fighting Blindness x Alma partnership: trained licensed therapists to provide more informed care for blind and low vision patients

  • 3–5 day virtual bootcamps focused on disability leadership, support, accommodations, and self-advocacy

  • customized trainings for organizations committed to serving disabled people with more clarity, depth, and respect

Every partnership is built around the same mission:

To give disabled people the tools, structure, and support to lead with their disabilities fully included.

If your organization wants to better support disabled employees, members, or communities, Disability Reimagined can help.

We deliver practical programming that moves beyond awareness and into action.

Disabled people do not need to be fixed.

They need access, tools, support, and room to lead.
