Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities! As the rights of students with disabilities are at risk, this video is a great reminder of all the [unremarkable] things possible when students have the tools & support they need. https://t.co/uK5jhUFZj1

Thanks, @metraux_julia, for chatting with myself and others about all that is at stake as it pertains to education for disabled students, and everything that’s possible if the spirit of IDEA is actually fulfilled.

We’re still processing the crushing news about the passing of CommunicationFIRST friend and Advisory Council member #AliceWong. We were made better by her work. Read about some of her #AAC and communication-disability-related activism and legacy here: https://t.co/WCAgMvijDu

RIP Alice Wong Alice was such an amazing person, advocate, writer, etc and it’s so saddening to hear of her passing 🫂

Something that sticks with me: Alice Wong didn’t really gain notoriety for her work until the last decade or so. How many people who use wheelchairs or who have significant medical disabilities does the world write off simply by how we visually perceive them? Farewell, Alice.

Our Board Chair Jordyn Zimmerman advocates that people who need & use #AAC must be leaders & co-designers of AAC technologies. She writes about this in Impact, a journal from the Institute on Community Integration. She's featured in its 40 Big Ideas issue! https://t.co/wXOxhYk2Yd

If you keep waiting to know everything before you start, this is for you. At 45, as a father and grandfather, it finally hit that “someday” was not a real plan. Five years in a strip club, 15+ years as a union electrician, and even longer trapped in my own head. Chronic

Not to be cringe, but I'm surprised I am emotional seeing the East Wing demolition. My first job in DC was interning there and I learned everything about it while giving guided tours. The beauty of the East Wing is that everyone can go there. It's America's house.

A majority of school superintendents in Idaho report ADA violations at their schools, from inaccessible playgrounds to broken elevators, especially in rural schools. Nationwide, most schools have accessibility issues—and the ADA is rarely enforced. https://t.co/CK7xzRdIu7

Despite federal law, disabled students can’t access playgrounds, lunchrooms, classes and bathrooms. With added funding, school districts are still unable to make necessary fixes.

NEW: The Education Dept. layoffs continued overnight, w/ the main office in charge of special ed funding being “decimated,” as one person described. “They cut just about everyone that works with IDEA funding,” said another. “I’m not sure how these programs exist moving forward.”
