Every day we raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. #LiveTheLifeYouWant
Today is #143DayinPA, a day to spread kindness, compassion, and to be the best neighbor you can in honor of Mr. Rogers. The number 143 was special for Mr. Rogers, as it signified the numbers of letters in ‘I love you’. His view of #Pittsburgh will never get old.

The term “special needs” encumbers what are human needs with the burdens of ableism, segregation, devaluation and disability discrimination. The label of “special needs”burdens disabled people in every aspect of life. Disabled people have human needs, not special needs.

Did you know that #Braille is actually not a language, but a tactile alphabet that can be used to write in almost any language? Few inventions have been as impactful for the #blind community as Braille, developed by Louis Braille in 1824. Happy #WorldBrailleDay!
Happy Valley Views 🍂 #WeAre

Instead of retweeting a photo taken without consent of a woman using a blindness cane and a phone, why not retweet this thread and learn about how people with vision impairments use phones to help with orientation and mobility? Here's how I use my phone as a blindness cane user

A big welcome to our new Python Family! 6th graders, join us for Early Entry Day, where we have had some pretty epic dance moves, movie quality videos, and heartfelt welcome messages in previous years. Maybe we should post a few throwbacks?! 🤔 #PythonPride #PMSPythons
