Ability is an American bimonthly magazine founded by Chet Cooper[1] in 1990 and launched as the first newsstand magazine focused on issues of health and disability. Ability is consistently ranked in the Top 50 Magazines in the World[2] — and is the leading magazine covering Health, Disability and Human Potential. It is distributed by Time Warner and has offices in Santa Ana and Costa Mesa, California.

Content

Ability{{'}}s content goal is to help remove the misunderstandings and erase the stereotypes that surround disability issues.[3] Ability covers the latest on health, environmental protection, assistive technology, employment, sports, travel, universal design, mental wellness and much more. Frequently explored issues include the Americans with Disabilities Act,[4] civil rights advancement, employment opportunities for people with disabilities, and human interest stories. Writers and contributors include MDs, PhDs, JDs, best-selling authors, U.S. senators and advocates. Cover interviews consist of movie and TV celebrities, business leaders, sports figures, presidents, first ladies and more. Each cover story of Ability showcases a prominent public figure who either has a disability or who has a connection to a disability-related cause.

Ability is dedicated to promoting accessibility in both content and form and is the first to embed VOICEYE (a high density matrix barcode system) on its editorial pages to hear print through smartphones and tablets—giving greater access to people with low vision, blindness or reading challenges in 58 languages.[5]

Representation
