🧵EXCLUSION.
This week some core memories will be made for a grade 6/7 class at a #Langley elementary school. The whole class is going to the waterslides at Cultus Lake. Everyone is going - except for 12yr old Sophia.

June is Deafblind Awareness Month!

A common misconception: all Deafblind people are fully blind and Deaf.

Truth: Deafblind people can experience varying degrees of sight and hearing loss.

Time to learn and celebrate the #deafblind community!

Are you a health researcher, trainee or student who has experienced #ableism or barriers related to #accessibility or are you an experienced ally?

#CIHR invites you to complete a survey to inform our action plan on accessibility.

Deadline: January 25

Track 2 of MAiD targets persons with disabilities living in poverty who are not at end of life. Creating an ad to promote/romanticize State assisted suicide is irresponsible and shows the lack of knowledge and myopic thinking of the privileged uninformed to the realities of MAiD.

@TVI_Adam @rlapaire @brllitcan Great discussion!

"It's no secret that the sight loss community experiences barriers in the area of post-secondary education. And one of the areas that's not commonly discussed is STEM Fields. Students with disabilities in STEM are grossly underrepresented." -@oceannec_

Another juicy panel discussion on accessibility in STEM, the role of mentorship/sponsorship, accessible tech, and navigating attitudinal barriers towards blind students in STEM! Can’t wait for @CNIB Connecting the Dots conference on Oct 25th!

[Oceanne @oceannec_]

Crying during a webinar where the presenter referenced a study that found that 53% of children with disabilities reported having no close friends or only 1 close friend.

[Oceanne @oceannec_]

Heard at the panel pre-recording 👂🏻: “Someone once said to me, Blind students can’t do Science.” I said: “Look me up on LinkedIn and then we’ll talk again.”

[Oceanne @oceannec_]

Filming a pre-recording for an exciting panel discussion on Accessibility and Disability Representation in STEM for people with sight loss with some amazing colleagues. T-25 days until the world gets to see it! 💛
