I am absolutely SHOCKED at @CBS for introducing the Deaf performers at today’s pregame #SuperBowl and then not showing even one second (or more) of their performance… as has been tradition for the last 30 years. WHY!? – at Los Angeles, CA

You have until tomorrow to tell the Census Bureau not to undercount people with disabilities! We need an accurate count to ensure proper federal funding of programs that people with disabilities rely on ndrn.salsalabs.org/censusdis…

Happy Birthday, Judy Heumann.
Often heralded as the mother of the disability rights movement, Heumann paved the way for many of the advances and privileges we enjoy today with her vision, compassion and fortitude.

For 32 years, the Americans with Disabilities Act allowed us to make progress toward a more inclusive and accessible society. We will continue to strive to be a model of diversity, inclusion, and accessibility, today and every day.

NEW: We’re urging the Supreme Court to reject CVS’ attempt to dismantle civil rights protections for people with disabilities.
CVS wants to undo non-discrimination protections under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
CVS’ position is dangerous and wrong.

I shy away from seemingly political posts, but the discussion of ableism in this article is excellent. "'The media consistently presents #disabled people as one-dimensional creatures whose only existence is to inspire.'" Such an important insight!

I am glad @AAPD is investigating this topic. #Autonomous vehicles hold promise for people with #disabilities, but #accessibility considerations should not be an afterthought.
Could #autonomous vehicles help meet the needs of millions of people for safer & more accessible transportation? A recent report from @AAPD reveals its findings. buff.ly/30BVRIU

Supervisors who offer support and empathy when a worker gets injured 🤕 , can double the likelihood of sustained return-to-work 🛠️.
When managing disability at work, supervisors matter! @iwhresearch @UofT_dlsph
