If you're a person w/a disability, either mental or physical, & you're willing to share how watching businesses suddenly provide work accommodations w/little to no issue makes you feel I'd love to speak to you for @TeenVogue. DMs are open or you can email me @ campoad13@gmail.com

If classes don’t translate well to online delivery, maybe that means they weren’t all that accessible in the first place 🤔 maybe we can use the #COVID19 closures to examine how fundamentally ableist so much of higher ed is.

Alternatively: how do we best support instructors to provide inclusive, equitable, high quality online content with little to no lead time? #coronavirus #umich

Feeling the love for the disability community today and uh...got a little carried away designing my #DisabilityValentines.
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! 💖

Roses are red,
Ableism is bad,
My wheelchair is liberating
And shouldn't make you sad.

#WhyDisabledPeopleDropOut A thread. As a former faculty member, I have heard several colleagues complain about accommodations as being frivolous. If they are willing to say these things in front of a very visibly disabled colleague, what do they say behind closed doors? 1/

Perhaps we would avoid this problem if disabled folks were supported to work and do research in science and biotech in the first place! #AcademicAbleism

9 million views on a stair-climbing wheelchair video won't help me enter a store with stairs. And much of the tech in viral videos isn't on the market or it's prohibitively expensive. I'm all about problem-solving but social media contributes to over-complication of basic access.

Viral videos on innovations that will "change" disabled people's live can be cool to watch, but they also encourage false hope and unrealistic views of how accessible the world actually is. We need to balance dreaming up innovations with providing practical access here and now.

Someone reached out to us today asking if he can write a guest blog on his experience as a wheelchair user with finding accessible housing

The answer is YES! Let us know if there is a topic you feel is underrepresented in media and in the disability community and we will work with you to develop your own guest blog post on the #AdaptDsgn website

Was considering getting back on dating/social apps when I remembered a very discouraging obstacle...
The amount of houses/apartments I can never visit because they are not wheelchair accessible.
