Once a “profoundly disabled” foster kid, DJ is now a first-year college student with a pressing need to stand up for those whose neurological diversity causes others to dismiss them. STREAM #Deej on @AmericaReFramed @WorldChannel. bit.ly/ARF_Deej #djsavarese #rooymedia

Just a reminder: Inclusion must include everyone. Not just in June — all year long.

Inclusion must include everyone — The Nora Project

There is no right or wrong, better or worse way to be a person or to express one’s identity. All children and educators have the inherent human right to show up at school as their authentic selves,...

#Oliverscampaign @TRMcGow I am incredibly humbled, honoured & feel a little unworthy. This OBE is for Oliver & other learning disabled and or autistic people whose voices are not always heard. My boy had to lose his life for me to do this work and this is what keeps me focused

We are bringing together 15 Superintendents from districts around the state on Wednesday. It’s an opportunity to have them openly discuss leading inclusive schools, and continue to move forward! Inclusion should not be dependent on your zip code!! #LeadingForAll @PaulaKluth

No one has the right to tell disabled people: “you don’t need access to that.” Disabled people need access to everything.

Disabled people are 25% of the population. Disability is not an oddity. Disabled people are not a spectacle.

Disabled people are fed up with apologies that begin: “Sorry for the inconvenience.” Inaccessibility is not an inconvenience. Failure to accommodate is not an inconvenience. Devaluation is not an inconvenience. Ableism is not an inconvenience.

Ableism is not an inconvenience. Ableism is crushing for disabled people.

"Autistics with intellectual disabilities are not mentally children. We grow up just like everyone else, and we need to learn how to be safe…We should all be allowed in our community. If we need extra support for that then we should be given it…" thinkingautismguide.com/2021…

Have Faith In Your Children With Intellectual Disabilities

This idea that people with intellectual disabilities cannot learn is a very dangerous idea and it leads to us being harmed.

As long as nondisabled people are the guardians of access, disabled people will continue to be excluded.
