摘要

This commentary draws on community-based research with refugees with disabilities and the service providers who work with them. It examines the barriers these refugees face in the U.S. naturalization process, particularly in relation to language and civics testing requirements, disability disclosure, and the availability of accommodations or exemptions. The article underscores the importance of early disability identification and cross-sector collaboration to ensure timely access to supports, such as testing accommodations,a, medical waivers, and oath modifications. Finally, it offers practical guidance to service providers assisting refugees with disabilities and highlights how current policies can hinder or facilitate equitable access to citizenship.
