Grateful to be able to share my story on @CBSMornings about how accessible technology such as iPad, continues to enable opportunities. It is my hope that by sharing my own journey, more people are able to gain access to the communication tools they need.

This is an amazing piece that everyone should watch! TY @jordynbzim for reminding everyone the contributions that disabled people, particularly nonspeaking people, can and do make, when we LISTEN!
At 18, @jordynbzim’s world opened up when she got hold of a communication app on an iPad for the first time. She is a nonspeaking autistic woman, and hadn’t been able to use her voice to the fullest until then. Now, she is a fierce advocate for others with disabilities.

Shocking! *said sarcastically* @SouthwestAir broke my chair coming and going in their headquarters city! I’m currently stuck in bed and apparently the only way to get a response is by posting here…ignoring the hundreds of tags on my other social platforms. #RightsOnFlights
🧵: my boss (and friend) was traveling on @SouthwestAir this past weekend and her powerchair was broken by southwest TWICE. while unfortunately not uncommon or surprising, it is unacceptable — and southwest has not even fucking responded. first flight: https://t.co/Lixe3P6Mpi

Man on bus to me, a wheelchair user: “It’s not fair that I have to give up my seat so you can get on.” Bus driver: “The bus is almost empty. Please take another seat. This one is wheelchair priority.” Man: “It’s unfair to favor disabled people” Access isn’t favoritism.
