For parents raising kids with disabilities, Twitter is a great place to learn how to care without being ableist.

Everyday, disability rights leaders share wisdom that challenges my thinking and my actions.

Here are my favorites to follow. Please highlight more below ...

[Special Olympics NorCal @SONorCal]

Today at CA State Assembly Subcommittee 1, @AsmFrazier asked the CA Department of Public Health (CDPH) why the IDD population has not been made a priority for the vaccine.

Have you checked out the Better Together Online Auction? Bidding is open until Monday! Huge thanks to @Salesforce for being the presenting sponsor.

The State of California stopped funding SONC for 2020-2021, so we need your support more than ever!

We need your help!

The State of California stopped funding Special Olympics California programs in 2020-2021. This results in a multi-million dollar loss for SONC. Many of our programs are at risk.

Please support athletes with a donation today!

Great and useful read. I have the same 10 questions.

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

1/ Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 43

Still stable overall @UCSFHospitals, with 14 patients, 4 on ventilators (Fig on left). New & improved @ucsf dashboard (Fig R): note uptick in positive tests in last few days, a bit of a worrisome signal. There’s still virus out there in SF.

Congress failed to center the disability community in its last three #COVID19 response packages.

As COVID-19 infections surge in institutions, adequately funding home & community based services (HCBS) could not be more urgent. Congress must act. #WeAreEssential

[The Kelsey @TheKelseyMore]

Home+Community Based Services (HCBS) are critical to making sure people with disabilities & older adults remain in their homes & communities. Congress must include HCBS funding in the next COVID19 Relief bill for the disability community and direct care workforce! #WeAreEssential

@TheKelseyMore @CripCampFilm @AllieCannington @MicaelaConnery @CarrieHall1001 @ReidDavenport @JimLeBrecht @kriphopnation Awesome event. Thank you!

[Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund @DREDF]

Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are essential to the health & safety of the people with intellectual and developmental #disabilities. They are “essential staff” all the time, especially during a global health #pandemic. #DSPsAreEssential! https://t.co/4vyAVBXtIY @TheRealANCOR

"Disability has only been stated a handful of times by candidates, while concerns relating to the community have tended to come up as an aside when health care, education or other broader issues were being discussed."

Disability isn't a limitation as much as a closed mind.
