@AAHD1 In addition to being fragrance-free, our events are hybrid, so attendees can connect over Zoom, and we provide in-person accommodations for our staff and consumers #GAADchat23

[NDisabilityNRC @ndnrc]

.@AAHD1 A4 – Health communications should be clear and accessible! For example: the @LifeologyApp offers free #scicomm courses to educate on important health topics: https://t.co/RWFQjwogaX #GAADChat23

[Easterseals HQ @eastersealshq]

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

[Easterseals HQ @eastersealshq]

A4. To help, we work within communities across the country to provide home and community-based services tailored to each location, and we assist people with referrals to other care and service providers in their area. (2/3) #GAADChat23

[Easterseals HQ @eastersealshq]

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! https://t.co/JmjnpYbrML) #GAADChat23

[Center for Independent Living of South Florida @CILSouthFlorida]

@AAHD1 A4 - Access to health care coverage (or not) is a social determinant of health; not having adequate health care can put you and your loved ones at risk #GAADChat23

[NDisabilityNRC @ndnrc]

.@AAHD1 A4 – We need a cultural shift! We need our culture to understand the experiences of people with disabilities, and the connections between mental health + physical health: https://t.co/LnmxqwoVXz #GAADChat23

[CIDNY @CID_NY]

A5. The more we know, all of us, the more we can provide accommodations and understanding to people’s individual needs. Though that's only one part. #GAADChat23

[ADA National Network @ADANational]

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

[NAMI Texas @NAMITexas]

A5: Medical research plays a pivotal role in their findings on how we can improve our current healthcare system. Their data can lead to key recommendations to lead us forward #GAADChat23

[NCHPAD @NCHPAD]

@AAHD1 A5: Historically, many people from marginalized communities have been excluded from medical research. We are a proud partner with @AllofUsResearch & are working to actively recruit people who are underrepresented in health research to make sure everyone is included ! #GAADChat23
