N2 - Purpose/Objective: This manuscript describes the initial factor exploration of disability identity and preliminary psychometric characteristics based on an adult self-report tool. Disability was defined broadly, and the sample included individuals with visible and/or hidden disabilities across many disability groups (i.e., physical, intellectual, learning, mental illness). Method: Items were developed (n = 102) and a pilot measure was administered to a sample of adults with disabilities (n = 566).
