This second progress report critically reviews the intersection of GIS and disability, tracing its evolution from a few isolated studies toward modest growth in recent scholarship. Through a contemporary literature analysis (N = 240) structured around four themes—wayfinding, spatial accessibility, cartography, and spatial epidemiology—we identify persistent conceptual and methodological gaps, including differing terminology and limited representation in leading journals. The advancement of disability GIS requires not a retrofit but a redesign that hinges upon explicitly integrating embodiment, participation, intersectionality, and meaningful engagement with disability studies.
