Cover Story: Disabled people need to be activists given the many problematic lived realities they face. However, they frequently encounter obstacles in traditional offline activism. Online activism could be a potential alternative. The objective of this scoping review is to examine the extent and nature of the coverage of disabled people in the academic literature that focuses on online activism. Of the 18,069 abstracts, only 54 relevant pieces were found. The thematic analysis identified 24 themes. The three main themes were the positive role and use of online activism; the technical accessibility barriers to online activism; and the attitudinal accessibility problems arising from ableist judgments. The study underscores the necessity for further research given the few relevant abstracts found. View this paper
