Check out last year's guide for reference. https://t.co/OMG1MCFzcH

Summer terms in ASL part 2 are here! If you're curious about summer in American Sign Language, there are a few key terms that you should know. 🤩

By the way, who else loves the beach during the summer? Let me know if you do!

I am begging folks:

If a workshop is providing and asking folks to use a mic, please do not refuse to use the mic and ask "can everyone hear me without this?" Just use the mic. Being heard is not just about the volume but also about the clarity of being able to hear the words.

#10 Emily Hanford. @ehanford has been following the science of reading for years as a senior correspondent for @AmPubMedia. Her latest project is a limited podcast series 'Sold a Story.' She dives in on how teaching kids how to read went horribly wrong. https://t.co/aHvM6SORx4

Consider the term “tactile selective” instead of using “tactile defensive” recognizing students are making choices based on their positive and negative #education and life experiences. @SWOMAtweets @TSBVI_Outreach #COMS #blind #deafblind #lowvision

15 years ago my PhD advisor taught me One Weird Trick for editing your own writing. Edit **back to front**, paragraph by paragraph. I still use it and it still surprises me how well it works. When I get my students to do it, it often blows their minds. Try it!

When you're disabled society somehow finds a way to make all of your successes about your disability and all of your failures about your disability... Can we not just achieve or make mistakes without it being because of our disability?

"She can't get inside the building because of her wheelchair."

No. She can't get inside because the building is not accessible. The building has a barrier that does not let her in. The wheelchair is not the problem; the building's lack of access is the problem.

Words matter.

I am feeling so energized and empowered after my first week of the TVI program at Vanderbilt. I've spent the past few days learning Braille, hearing the "why TVI" from my cohort peers, and stopping to take it all in. Extremely grateful

Was reminded today of this excellent @TSBVI_ShortTerm Self-Determination instructional resource featuring the perspectives of many #blind adults. So good https://t.co/Hbmt2w30N0 via @YouTube

As summer wraps up, here’s my annual reminder to college instructors to use universal design on their syllabi and NOT rely on “accommodations” from the disability services office. Many disabled students are undiagnosed. Some lack the resources to request accommodations. Do better
