ICYMI, I've been doing #AccessibleAdvent in #Academia, sharing ideas of how to make classrooms and events more accessible
Day 1 #AccessibleAdvent in #Academia
Have a chat with your students at the start of your course and let them know what accommodations you can make without official documentation e.g. using large print, a different font, a different colour

This month is #EhlersDanlos awareness month. #EDS is a connective tissue disorder, with lots of different subtypes, and it can be tricky to diagnose- mean time to diagnosis is currently 14 years. For me, it was 7. It has had a big impact on how I operate in academia (thread) 1/

As A fellow endurer (not a word but it works) of chronic pain I have the same issues every day. I always go the long way round to work because its nigh impossible to get a seat on @centralline #chronicpainwarriors not that it's that much easier on @jubileeline tbf

This is so important to me. It enables me to travel to work and be able to function. Rarely people offer me a seat on the @centralline but it’s the line I need to be able to get to work. most of the other lines people offer me a seat.

I understand the need for urgent action for climate justice.
However, thanks to XR’s protests today I am completely unable to access my city centre, because I’m disabled, my only route there is by bus, and their blockades have taken out *every single* city centre bus stop.

Hi @LIRR, would you consider a LIRR Hero poster about offering a seat to disabled folks? These posters are often in the disabled seating area ad spaces - maybe it would help nudge folks to do the right thing? #pleaseoffermeaseat
ALT Train poster ad for mentioning how you can be a LIRR Hero, mentioning a boy and his dad throwing out garbage to help keep cars clean. It’s in the disabled seating area.
