Schneider Family Book Award - annual award given by the American Library Association to honor the best books for children and young adults on the disability experience. 

Disability in Kidslit - this website focuses on the portrayal of disability in middle grade and young adult literature and includes articles, reviews, interviews, and discussions examining this topic from various angles—and always from the disabled perspective.

IBBY Collection for Young People with Disabilities - Every two years the IBBY National Sections nominate books for young people with disabilities to be added to the collection. The collection also focuses on including books that are available in accessible formats so that children can read independently. Not all books will be in English.
