#DisabledRights

[laurierthefox]

Bonjour à toustes ! Un de mes mécènes sur #Patreon qui à pris l'abonnement Arbre Vénérable, m'a passé commande de cette illustration d'#autodéfensesanitaire. On a vu pas mal de sportif'ves des JO être masquées, voir certain'es ont dû même annuler leur venue pour cause de covid. C'est le moment idéal pour rappeler que le covid n'a toujours pas disparu (malheureusement) et que plus vous le contractez, plus vous avez de chance d'attraper un covid long. Dans mon cas, comme je suis à risque (maladie de Crohn) et sous traitement immuno- suppresseur, je ne sors jamais sans. Même en extérieur, surtout quand il y a foule, et je me fais vacciner tous les 3 mois. Et vu la dangerosité de cette maladie, c'est épuisant de voir que le reste du monde se comporte comme si elle n'existait plus. J'espère que cette illustration vous plaira comme elle a plu à ce mécène ! Prenez soin de vous si vous pouvez ! https://www.patreon.com/LaurierTheFox

President Joe Biden Pays Tribute to Judith Heumann

  Official Statement by President Biden

"Judy Heumann was a trailblazer – a rolling warrior – for disability rights in America. After her school principal said she couldn’t enter Kindergarten because she was using a wheelchair, Judy dedicated the rest of her life to fighting for the inherent dignity of people with disabilities. Her courage and fierce advocacy resulted in the Rehabilitation Act, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act – landmark achievements that increased access to education, the workplace, housing, and more for people with disabilities. Judy also served in leadership positions in two presidential administrations, and she started multiple disability advocacy organizations that continue to benefit people here and around the world. I knew Judy for a long time. When I was Vice President, we hosted a meeting together at the White House to discuss our continued efforts to break down barriers for those who face discrimination and neglect. Her legacy is an inspiration to all Americans, including many talented public servants with disabilities in my Administration. Jill and I send our deepest condolences to Judy’s husband, Jorge Pineda, and their entire family." -End of Presidental Statement-

About Judy Heumann

Judy Heumann was an internationally recognized advocate for people with disabilities. She had long been a leader in the disability rights movement, working to ensure that the civil rights of people with disabilities are protected under US law. Heumann was born in 1947 and contracted polio at a young age, leading to her use of a wheelchair. After receiving her Bachelor's degree from Long Island University and Master's degree from Bank Street College of Education, she began working for the Center for Independent Living in Berkeley, CA as an advocate for people with disabilities. At the Center, Heumann helped promote independent living skills among disabled individuals and advocated for laws that would protect their civil rights. In 1977 she became Special Assistant on Disability Rights at the Department of Health Education and Welfare (HEW).   Sources: THX News & The White House. Read the full article

Accommodated Education, shortened to AcEd (from this tiktok:

)

What are some alternative, non-offensive phrases for “Special Education”?

Hi, as someone who has been in special education I don't really consider it offensive? As in, if someone isn't using it as an insult, then I don't mind it. But if you're looking for different terms, then ones I have seen are;

aided education,

inclusive education/classroom,

education for disabled students,

you can also specify who the education is meant for: students with communication problems? with intellectual disability? with severe mobility disabilities? etc.

There are also types of SPED that don't cover all of it, but you could still use, like integrated education.

I hope this helps!

Disabled pride vs. awareness

On July 26th, 1990, George H. W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities  Act. The ADA is a law that gives people with disabilities protection against  discrimination in the workplace, public transportation, restaurants, schools, and  much more. In addition, the law mandates accommodations that provide access  and independence to people with disabilities to live their lives. That’s why July is  disability pride month. It is a celebration of the diversity within the disabled  community. The law prevents discrimination against all types of disability; mental  illness, cognitive, intellectual, sensory, and physical. Each type is represented in  the disability pride flag. 

Why is it pride month and not awareness month? Awareness is acknowledging a  diagnosis, and pride is a celebration. You might donate money to foundations  during awareness months, but in pride months, you march and find community.  July is a month to recognize all the feelings of people with disabilities. You don’t  have to be proud of your disability to be included. July raises up voices of  disabled people to tell their stories. 

For me, people have always been “aware” of my disability. Because they can  see my mobility aids. The questions like “What happened?” or “what’s wrong  with your legs?” gets old quickly. Those situations made me resent my mobility  aids for “outing” me as disabled. I learned over time that not using them made  me slower and maybe look more “special” because of how I naturally walk. In  the end, mobility aids provide more independence than unwanted questions. 

My workaround for hiding my orthotics was to never under any circumstance wear shorts to school as a child. 

That and to pick skin tone colors  to make them blend in. (Although this usually made people think I had  prosthetics versus leg braces, and having to explain that is awkward). In most  pictures, I color-coded my crutches to my outfit. This was to minimize my  mobility aids and disability as much as possible. My internal ableism grew out of  assumptions others had about my disability. Awareness diminished the amount  of pride I had.

I got the pleasure of collaborating with @wheely_good_time recently & came up with this fantastic design about the #JustAskDontGrab notion! There is honestly nothing worse than a stranger (or anyone for that matter! But someone you know *usually* knows better!) Grabbing you without asking or even acknowledging you! My first thought goes to "oh my god am I about to be mugged/raped/killed?!" Because you just don't know? If you randomly grabbed an able bodied person & moved them around that would be considered assault, but if you're in a wheelchair it's "helping" 🤔 By all means feel free to ASK if a wheelchair user needs help, but never ever touch someone's chair without asking (to us it's an extension of our body!) AND I feel it's vitally important to also mention, to respect and obey the person's response. If they say they don't need help...DO NOT HELP THEM. Even if YOU think they need help, they have explicitly told you they don't need it. Too many times I have had people ignore me saying "no I'm fine thanks!" & They just grab me and "help" anyway,which actually does more harm than good! I've known friends where this has caused them physically injuries! (Not to mention they don't even know where I'm going! I've had this before too & they look surprised when I tell them I'm not even going that way!)🙄♿ Thank you to Eva & Linka for putting my words into an awesome design, they are genuinely such lovely people!❤ _________________________________ #Disabled #Disability #Wheelchair #DontTouch #donttouchmywheelchair #disabledpeoplearehot #mobility #consent #physical #chronicillness #chroniccondition #abledsareweird #WheelchairsOfInstagram #wheelchairuserproblems #wheelchairuser #DisabledAndCute #Activist #disabilityactivist #DisabledRights https://www.instagram.com/p/B4GJ2H2n931/?igshid=184htsv1ke4jh

As someone disabled, the hardest part about being disabled, isn’t even being disabled at all. It’s the people who make my existence an inconvenience in their life. — I thought I should share this poster to bring you some awareness and examples on how to approach someone with disabilities. ♿️ • • • • #Disabled #DisabilityAwareness #DisabledCommunity #DisabilityEtiquette #DisabledRights #DisabledLife #DisabledandProud #DisabledAdvocate https://www.instagram.com/p/CivOUH9vQSc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

People in marginalized groups who have had health issues or disabilities know what a fight it is to get healthcare already. This is yet another hurdle in obtaining life saving care.

It would be great if you could share this or make a donation... just to be super clear this is a repost but I’m going to make a comment first. Society has a problem it expects #disabled people to work for free. It’s a complex issue so I’m not going to get into it but I will say this it’s the reason I don’t support The M!ghty - they don’t pay contributors. They are not alone in this. There is also a problem that many specific ‘disability’ #publications are not actually written by disabled people - this is a problem with representation. As an example imagine being really excited to look at the latest issue of Chess weekly (I made that up) you open the magazine and discover it’s written by people who don’t know how to play chess... it’s a problem. So please support #TheUnwritten I personally think it’s a great idea and something that is really needed right now. (Don’t ask me what the text in the image says no clue but I would guess it’s the same as the text I’ve copied below) Repost below: Posted @withregram • @rachel_is_dunn Terrified and excited to share this, but for the past few months I've been building an online publication for disabled people to share their stories without them being reduced to inspiration or trauma porn. . Before I launch I want to ensure that I can pay every writer what they deserve. If you can help I'd really appreciate it. Click the link in my bio to go to the Patreon or PayPal writers pot and give what you can. . If you're not able to contribute it'd really mean a lot if you shared about it. . #disabledwriters #supportdisability #disability #disabledlife #disablednotinvisible #disabledrights #disabilityactivist #disabilityawareness #spoonielife #spoonie #fundraising #supportsmallbusiness #gimmemoney https://www.instagram.com/p/CH8M1HxBAKO/?igshid=1c94xwivuou9d
