In our 2020 American Muslim Poll, we found that one in three American Muslims has an immediate family member with a disability, which is roughly the same of every other faith community we studied. In March 2022, ISPU went through a staff inclusivity and sensitivity training, an assessment of our materials, and more, with help from MUHSEN—an organization that provides programs and services to improve the experience within mosques, and engender positive communities, for those with disabilities. We are honored to now be a MUHSEN-certified nonprofit organization able to provide services and accommodations for those with special needs.
On today’s episode of Deep Dives with ISPU, ISPU’s Outreach and Partnerships Manager, Petra Alsoofy, is joined by Joohi Tahir, Co-founder and Executive Director of MUHSEN, for a discussion on accessibility and disability in American Muslim communities. There is a transcription available for this episode.
