Invisible Disabilities Association is an organization to help friends and family develop a better understanding of disabling illness and injury that may not seem obvious. IDA provides helpful links to sites and organizations of several diseases, disorders and conditions, as well as a support board. They also offer informative articles and a 48-page booklet, "But You LOOK Good" that can be handed out to friends, family, church members, support groups and even fellow employees, in order to help them to understand the challenges and difficulties of living with a disease or injury that can be debilitating.

New Sign Invisible Disability Project is a social/cultural movement and an educational media project that consciously disrupts “invisibility” imposed upon unseen disabilities at the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality. We are devoted to building human connections and self-advocacy by dismantling shame and stigma. IDP effects change through public conversations and interactive online content with the goal of creating an informed, mutually supportive community.
