The IDEA Compliance Report Card for 2023 is out.

IDEA passed 48 years ago.

Yet...

* Only 23 states are in full compliance with the law.

* 29 states have been "needs assistance" for 2+ years.

Is this acceptable for our 7.3 million Disabled Learners?

If you are at all concerned or interested in accessible #airtravel, have your voice heard on the #Biden administrations proposed #legislation - Ensuring Safe Accommodations for Air Travelers with Disabilities Using #Wheelchairs. #accessibility https://t.co/swt6EqdvQT

Way to go @DorfmanDoron! This is a fantastic paper that critically examines the deference to third party preferences in the evaluation of reasonable accommodation requests. Significant implications re: COVID, perfume, and allergies cases. Great choice @michlawreview.

How do sign language interpreters tell the story of what's going on? @leesonl @tcddublin explains #NationalISLDay https://t.co/dPMhk39N8J

@AllisonFGilmour Very Interesting paper BTW ...did you look at whether the students were taught in an inclusive (with their general education peers) vs. separate / segregated setting? Which may be highly correlated with teacher certification. See National Council in Disabilities retort from 2018.

[Disability Media Wire @WireDisability]

@AllisonFGilmour I'm very sorry. Have you contacted their publisher?

@BonnieSwenorPhD @Vivian_Cheung2 @BonnieSwenorPhD...Is there an Association of Disabled Scientists or Academics or...?

There is power in formally organizing together.

@KatAMacfarlane @OrlyLobel It had been my pleasure to communicate with @Vivian_Cheung2 here for several years..

She definitely deserves the active support of this community .

Actual books for “Disabled People Transforming Media Culture for a More Inclusive World,” have arrived. But it is better if you get the book for free as an e-book via Open Access: https://t.co/sqzdb258SM

"The problem isn't intellectual and developmental disability. The problem is fear, neglect, indifference & oversight."

I just told the @HoCCommittees it's time for bold action. @specialolympics promotes social inclusion in schools in 150 countries. But we can't do it alone.

This legislation will improve transportation for all Philadelphians especially those with disabilities as parking infractions create prohibitive and dangerous scenarios for wheelchair users. #ISEPTAPHILLY #waytogo

🚨 @uscensusbureau is changing the way disability data is collected which reduces national disability estimates from 14% to 8%! These changes will negatively impact disabled people and have moved forward without input from the disability community. 📢Action you can take below!

My expertise in Universal Design + passion for better built environment for people with disabilities has taken me around the globe. I was shocked when a major land use organization saw zero value in my offer of a free keynote speech. 1/3 #universaldesign #disabilityinclusion #ada
