If you feel your medical needs are not being heard, reach out to your local community organization like an independent living center or government funded service agency. #GAADChat23

A4. Know that there are options and resources available to you. However, systems and institutions need to do a better job at providing proper health care information to communities. It can be confusing and overwhelming. (1/3) #GAADChat23

A4. It might be helpful to hear from other disabled people who are sharing openly about their experiences. Learning from others can help someone find community and discover ways to self-advocate. (Our podcast touches on some of these issues! hq.easterseals.com/everythin…) #GAADChat23

A5 – One way that medical research can advance health equity is by bringing communities (like the disability community) into the development process at the early stages to direct researchers as they plan out their research questions. #GAADChat23 #ADANetwork
