Today, @CripCampFilm had the honor of receiving a @PeabodyAwards. @JimLeBrecht calls for more authentic inclusion of disabled people in media as Crip Camp is just "one story of thousands." Let us embody the "unapologetic spirit" of Crip Camp and fight for our stories to be told💜
Thank you to today's Medical Conference keynote speakers- Dr. Keller & Rick Guidotti of @PositiveExpo -who provided an excellent presentation: Faces Redefining the Art of Medical Education (FRAME): Visual Arts Advancing Education & Training in Healthcare for Individuals w/ IDD
"I want people to know that with that right support, Autistic people can live really good, self-determined lives. And also just really boring, ordinary lives that look a lot like everybody else." -@JustStimming#AutismAcceptanceMonth

Don't call me "differently abled" "special needs" "handi-capable." Don't say "ability" when you mean "disability." I am #disabled. I am proud of my disability and my community.
@lachimusic and I talk #DisabilityPride and having agency over your story 👇

It's impossible to say how much this nomination means. This is a big day not only for @NicoleNewnham and I, but for everyone that has made our film come to life. And for the Deaf and disabled community. WOW. #cripcamp#filmmakerswithdisabilities#rollingonair
