🌟 #Inclusion benefits everyone in the class because it elevates the quality of instruction. It can take creativity; but the payoff is everything. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Educators #UDL #TeacherTwitter

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

Home! 4 weeks in the ICU and I am now home. Now even more hard work begins. Send me all the good witchy vibes Image description: hospital room with a bunch of monitors and cords. An empty hospital bed has a gown & pillows

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

After many years of campaigning by @PaulaMc007, the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training in Learning Disability and Autism has passed into law - named after her own late son, Oliver: bbc.in/3MqCQ1Y

#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

Registration is open for our 3rd Annual Conference on Disability in Medicine & Healthcare! You can view the agenda & registration at the following link: med.stanford.edu/smadie/events/… We look forward to seeing you there! #DisabilityAdvocacy #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityHistory

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.
