Eliminating misconceptions about people with disabilities through education |advocating for legislation to improve the lives of disabled Americans | helping people with disabilities achieve their goals
To those without a disability, this quote may seem abstract. Let's unpack it. Web developers who expect blind people to access their websites will create accessible websites, ones we can use. Of course, this assumes they have the resources to do so. Social workers who know that blind people can parent will not attempt to take away a blind parent's child. Professors and academic departments who expect blind people to enroll in their programs will use accessible textbooks, accessible learning platforms, and do their best to include every student in each lesson, adapting when necessary. We wish this was happening all the time. But it's not. It is legal to take children from blind parents based solely on their disability in most states. Many blind students enroll in college only to discover that the university does not expect them to be there or succeed. Web and app accessibility is an ongoing battle. Bottom line: Assume we want to live life like everyone else, and prepare to encounter us at your job as consumers and clients.
Jan. 23 is Ed Roberts Day. He is considered to be the father of the independent living movement for people with disabilities. #EdRobertsDay
