0:01 - 0:03So,
-
0:03 - 0:05My name is Michelle Nario - Redmond
-
0:05 - 0:06I am a social psychologist and
-
0:06 - 0:08I teach at Hiram College
-
0:09 - 0:11in psychology and biomedical
humanities program -
0:11 - 0:16and I just wrote a book on ableism
the causes and consequences -
0:16 - 0:19of disability prejudice.
My first memory -
0:19 - 0:21and I'll just back up and say in 1990,
-
0:21 - 0:24when the ADA passed
I was in graduate school, -
0:25 - 0:33in Kansas, and disability prejudice,
the ADA or anything -
0:33 - 0:39related to disability issues
were completely off my radar, -
0:40 - 0:44and I worked at a place
where one of the pioneers -
0:44 - 0:47of disability studies worked,
Beatrice Wright, -
0:47 - 0:50and I hadn't yet to have a class with her.
-
0:50 - 0:54It really wasn't until 1995,
which was five years later, -
0:54 - 0:59when my daughter was born,
Sierra, with spina bifida, -
0:59 - 1:03that I became aware
of disability and found the work -
1:03 - 1:09of Carol Gill and Simi Linton
and began to educate myself -
1:09 - 1:15on disability studies and its scope,
and the first memory I have of -
1:15 - 1:23confronting inaccessible spaces
was a few years later, when we enrolled -
1:23 - 1:27my daughter Sierra in a preschool,
at a catholic preschool, -
1:27 - 1:32right down the road; and it just didn't
even dawn on me that we would have to -
1:32 - 1:36work so hard for her to be accommodated
as a preschooler, -
1:36 - 1:41and it was really a function of
the fact that the building was older, -
1:41 - 1:47there were steps, and they really didn't
know, nor did they need to legally know, -
1:47 - 1:53about reasonable accommodations
and civil rights of their students, -
1:53 - 2:01because they were a private facility and
weren't subject to the ADA's rules. -
2:01 - 2:05So... it became clear to me that
we needed to find a new preschool, -
2:05 - 2:10and luckily we found a private,
another private place. It wasn't -
2:10 - 2:13a public school, but it
was a music school settlement -
2:13 - 2:16and they had resources
and they were already operating -
2:16 - 2:22under a sort of set of presumptions
about the value of diversity -
2:22 - 2:27and diverse perspectives,
and we didn't really have to ask for much, -
2:27 - 2:32because they bent over backwards
to include my daughter -
2:32 - 2:37in a typical classroom, with her peers,
her preschool peers, music classes, -
2:37 - 2:42there were so many eclectic
movement classes, -
2:42 - 2:48and they even purchased
equipment for their exercise room -
2:48 - 2:53and movement room
that would be useful to her among others, -
2:53 - 2:58and she has since grown up to become
this teacher and has applied -
2:58 - 3:02to work there as a preschool teacher.
So, I think it would be really -
3:02 - 3:08amazing, if she came full circle.
But, I guess, to stance the broader -
3:08 - 3:15question about being frustrated and aware
of inaccessibility and lack of inclusion, -
3:15 - 3:22we were in a district that, when she then,
was about to move to preschool, I -
3:22 - 3:27knew that she wouldn't probably be able to
go to a private school, not only because -
3:27 - 3:32of the financial cost, but because
they would not have to think about -
3:32 - 3:36best practices and the law when
it came to accommodating -
3:36 - 3:39their students with disabilities,
and so I knew we would be -
3:39 - 3:44looking at the public school, and the
public school in our neighborhood -
3:44 - 3:49was not accessible. We went to visit it,
the playground had a little house -
3:49 - 3:52that she wouldn't have been
able to get into, -
3:52 - 3:56and it was really disheartening
and so it came at a time -
3:56 - 3:58when we were already looking
for other opportunities, -
3:58 - 4:02and my husband got an opportunity
to move us as a family -
4:02 - 4:04to the West Coast
of Portland of Oregon, and -
4:04 - 4:11so the way I...we had to
navigate her early educational experiences -
4:11 - 4:18was to only look at spaces and schools
that were in districts that were new, -
4:18 - 4:23so that had buildings
and had training in terms of -
4:23 - 4:26accommodating their diverse students
and their disabled students, -
4:26 - 4:31because just having the brief experiences
that I did with the preschool -
4:31 - 4:39and IEP meetings that were going to
require me to fight at every juncture -
4:39 - 4:43for her basic rights
to show what she knows -
4:43 - 4:47and participate and recognize herself
as a valuable contributor -
4:47 - 4:51to the school community.
We're not going to be forthcoming -
4:51 - 4:54without a fight,
and so we narrowed our search -
4:54 - 4:57to a district,
and thank God we had the opportunity -
4:57 - 5:02and the resources to do this,
that was pretty known for their -
5:03 - 5:04inclusivity.
-
5:04 - 5:08We did that also when we came back
to the Cleveland, Ohio area. -
5:08 - 5:12We were able to avoid all districts
that weren't at the cutting edge -
5:12 - 5:17of full inclusion and proof of excellence
and had newer buildings -
5:17 - 5:20that could accommodate those
with disabilities, -
5:20 - 5:26but I guess that that was my earliest
memory of how, 'Oh, we have a road -
5:26 - 5:32ahead of us and we have to take it upon
ourselves to either continue to fight -
5:32 - 5:40battles that had already been won,
legislatively or find spaces, places -
5:40 - 5:43and organizations that were ahead
of the curve -
5:43 - 5:50in terms of implementing, monitoring and
just execute the basic civil rights -
5:50 - 5:54of their various constituents
-
5:54 - 5:59The impact that all of that has had on me
is to just be able to communicate -
5:59 - 6:02with other parents and students
with disabilities -
6:02 - 6:09about not only knowing their rights but
knowing how to get those rights -
6:09 - 6:19how to advocate for ensuring that those
rights are addressed, are met. -
6:19 - 6:21I think the ADA has made
a huge difference -
6:21 - 6:25and the aha moment was even when I was
collating information for this book -
6:25 - 6:29on disability prejudice. I realized that
when I was a kid, -
6:29 - 6:34when I was growing up in the 60's and
70's, people with disabilities weren't -
6:34 - 6:39able to do any of the things that we took
for granted as kids: go to the movies -
6:39 - 6:44go to restaurants, go to visit a friend,
at a friend's house, or invite -
6:45 - 6:48others to your birthday parties.
-
6:48 - 6:55And, since the ADA passed in 1990,
it wasn't an immediate set of changes, -
6:55 - 7:02as, you know, there has been significant
progress made, particularly in public -
7:02 - 7:08spaces and in employment settings,
where there are even employers -
7:08 - 7:14who are part of an organization
of inclusive excellence, who -
7:14 - 7:19recognize that disabled employees are
actually more reliable and -
7:19 - 7:23have less turnover and are worth
investing in and promoting. -
7:23 - 7:29But, there are still so many places,
small businesses, educational institutions -
7:29 - 7:41that are not carrying out the basic,
sort of gains and practices that the ADA -
7:41 - 7:45has made possible .There's just way too
much variation, and I think part of that -
7:45 - 7:49is just a lack of education in
terms of what -
7:49 - 7:55is reasonable and what is necessary
-
7:55 - 7:57in terms of accommodating your citizenry
-
7:57 - 8:01and lack of resources in some cases but
-
8:01 - 8:04also a lot of misinformation about whether
-
8:04 - 8:08or not it's worth it. You know,
the ADA is going to -
8:08 - 8:12be 30 here in July. We're
celebrating around -
8:13 - 8:16the country and we are still fighting
-
8:16 - 8:20for businesses to do what they should have
-
8:20 - 8:22done 30 years ago, those that have been
-
8:22 - 8:25around this long. They have not, they have
-
8:26 - 8:28have waited for complaints or they have
-
8:28 - 8:31failed to do but the bare minimum in
-
8:31 - 8:35terms of recruiting the largest minority
-
8:35 - 8:38I work in the education sphere and to me,
-
8:38 - 8:40we could be doing so much more with
-
8:40 - 8:43advertising and recruiting for those kinds
-
8:43 - 8:46of students that we tend to really, at
-
8:46 - 8:49least my institution, do well to retain
-
8:49 - 8:53because we're a small, intimate college,
-
8:53 - 8:56Hiram College. And, and for
years I've tried to sort of -
8:56 - 9:00encourage us to consider more universally
-
9:00 - 9:02designed approaches, but also approaches
-
9:02 - 9:07that do more than the bare minimum
when it comes to housing and -
9:07 - 9:10extracurricular accommodations for
-
9:10 - 9:12students to who use mobility devices. For
-
9:13 - 9:15example, my daughter ended up having to be
-
9:16 - 9:18carried in her chair, to various club
-
9:18 - 9:21meetings while she was on the Hiram
-
9:21 - 9:25College campus. She was told that,
during the -
9:25 - 9:28winter, when the ice storms came, that
-
9:28 - 9:32they couldn't transport her up the long
-
9:32 - 9:34hill, while they were
telling everyone -
9:34 - 9:37else to walk like a penguin, and we had
-
9:37 - 9:41vans to do this. We had to file with the
-
9:41 - 9:45Ohio Disability Rights Commission and
-
9:45 - 9:48request that the school thinks about other
-
9:48 - 9:51ways of accommodating her, should there
-
9:51 - 9:53be a storm, an ice storm, and she can't
-
9:53 - 9:55get up to campus.
And the solution -
9:55 - 9:58was to have her move to a
new dorm. -
9:58 - 10:00You can't just do that over night.
-
10:00 - 10:02You can't just move all your bedding
-
10:02 - 10:04and all your bathroom supplies
-
10:04 - 10:07and your whole... you know at the moment's
-
10:07 - 10:09notice, when the weather changes
-
10:09 - 10:11and so it has been my experience that
-
10:11 - 10:15still a lot of places have done
the bare minimum approach -
10:15 - 10:18and think that that's all they need to do
-
10:18 - 10:22when instead, they could be following more
-
10:22 - 10:26of the latest practices and
implementation's science -
10:26 - 10:29and making it easier for people to
-
10:29 - 10:32register concerns or complaints. And
-
10:32 - 10:34they often don't even need to file a
-
10:34 - 10:37formal complaint issue, if you
approach a business or -
10:37 - 10:40your educational institution
with an issue. -
10:40 - 10:45Often times, progressive thinkers that
recognize the value of -
10:45 - 10:49customers with disabilities frequenting
their businesses or -
10:49 - 10:52diversifying their faculty or their
student body -
10:52 - 11:01will simply not be aware that they have
failed to accommodate or -
11:01 - 11:05make accessible various programs
and spaces. -
11:05 - 11:09And that can be as simple as asking.
But a lot of times a lot more -
11:09 - 11:12has to be done, you have to document
you have -
11:12 - 11:15to make sure your emails go to
multiple people -
11:15 - 11:21and make the business case of why
surveying your policies -
11:21 - 11:24to see whether they are biases or whether
-
11:24 - 11:26there is discrimination in filing of
-
11:26 - 11:29complaints or even you have a title
-
11:29 - 11:33of, you know, an officer on campus
or ADA - cooridnator -
11:33 - 11:36so that you can let students
with disabilities know -
11:36 - 11:39who may have not proper documentation
-
11:39 - 11:40how they can go about making sure that
-
11:40 - 11:43they get what they need to show
-
11:43 - 11:47what they know, before they fail classes
-
11:47 - 11:49because they haven't knocked at the door
-
11:49 - 11:52of disability services and provided proof
-
11:52 - 11:55that they have a particular condition
-
11:55 - 11:57So I know, I am sort of rambling a bit,
-
11:57 - 12:02but I just, just wasn't aware of how much
-
12:02 - 12:05further we need to go when it comes to
-
12:05 - 12:09surveying and making sure that the ADA
-
12:09 - 12:13is being implemented and just because
-
12:13 - 12:16a law passes doesn't mean again
-
12:16 - 12:19that it is just going to happen
-
12:19 - 12:22you have to have allies and acitivists
-
12:22 - 12:24and insiders working very hard
-
12:24 - 12:26to make sure that people are recognizing
-
12:26 - 12:29the value of legislation
-
12:29 - 12:32which I think, still people are under
-
12:32 - 12:34the assumption that it applies to
-
12:34 - 0:00people who identify with disabilities but
-
12:34 - 12:35I don't think that was even neccesserely
-
Not Syncedeven the intent of the ADA
-
Not SyncedI think it recognizes that people flow
-
Not Syncedin and out of abilities and the extent to
-
Not Syncedwhich they are excluded or discriminated
-
Not Syncedagainst, because of their abilities is
-
Not Syncedreally what this legislation was about
-
Not Syncedeven having a record of having a
-
Not Syncedcondition that maybe you no longer have
-
Not Syncedor you had it temporarily can mean that
-
Not Syncedyou might be excluded. If you applied for
-
Not Syncedjobs recently, you know, many places
-
Not Syncedrequire a statement. You have to indicate
-
Not Syncedbased of strict definitions whether you
-
Not Syncedhave limitations in these major life
-
Not Syncedactivities that will qualify you as a
-
Not Synceddisabled person and I want to believe that
-
Not Syncedthey are asking these questions, so that
-
Not Syncedthey can mindfully recruit people with
-
Not Synceddisabilities joining their ranks, their
-
Not Syncedstaffing, but sometimes I think what
-
Not Syncedprevents people from using that
-
Not Syncedinformation to disqualify candidates
-
Not Syncedso there has to be checks and balances
-
Not Syncedand accountabilities when it comes to
-
Not Syncedmaking sure your civil rights legislation
-
Not Synceddoesn't put all of the owners on the
-
Not Syncedgroup itself to file and follow through
-
Not Syncedand figure out which parts of the ADA are
-
Not Syncedbeing violated. You know that can be
-
Not Syncedreally discouraging when all you want to
-
Not Synceddo is go out and you know, go to the beach
-
Not Syncedand find out which beaches are accessible
-
Not Syncedor whether there is, you know, a mobility
-
Not Synceddevices that are availible via the sand or
-
Not Syncedyou just want to go camping or you just
-
Not Syncedwant to go frequent people who are
-
Not Syncedminorities on businesses or disabilities
-
Not Syncedon businesses and some of this is out
-
Not Syncedthere and I tried to promote it through
-
Not Syncedbooks and activists pages, but there is so
-
Not Syncedmuch that we can do to leverage more of
-
Not Syncedthese ways of monitoring and implementing
-
Not Syncedtaking access to the next level whether
-
Not Syncedfor the disabled community pro forma or
-
Not Syncedproper or for anyone who uses strollers
-
Not Syncedwho might carry a lot of materials in
-
Not Syncedtheir hands could benefit from a push
-
Not Syncedbutton. I think we need all to make a
-
Not Syncedbetter job at making the business and the
-
Not Syncedother benefit cases for improving our ADA
-
Not Syncedaccess. Where my passions lie of late is
-
Not Syncedin getting out the votes because we know
-
Not Syncedthat disabled people have been
-
Not Synceddisenfranchised from the vote and from
-
Not Syncedparenting and from all kind sorts of other
-
Not Syncedbasic human rights but this being an election
-
Not Syncedyear there is all kinds of folks working
-
Not Syncedto crip the vote, #cripthevote Alice Wong
-
Not Syncedand others who have been trying to make
-
Not Syncedsure that candidates for president and for
-
Not Syncedcongressional offices and even local
-
Not Syncedcampaigns are expressing what their stance
-
Not Syncedis on the ADA and on disability rights and
-
Not Syncedhuman rights and hold, for the first
-
Not Syncedtime we've seen some traction on that.
-
Not SyncedBut what people don't realize is how many
-
Not Syncedplaces are not accessible to voters with
-
Not Synceddisabilities either because they use
-
Not Syncedassisted technologies that don't
-
Not Syncedinterphase with the electronic equipement
-
Not Syncedor they can't get accessible transportation
-
Not Syncedor the place itself is simply inaccessible
-
Not Syncedor they are institutionalized and barred
-
Not Syncedfrom voting because of that and so the
-
Not Syncedcenter fro American progress has been
-
Not Syncedpublishing some of the numbers, like over
-
Not Synced60% of polling places are considered
-
Not Syncedinaccessible. That's a problem. So voting
-
Not Syncedby mail may benefit a lot of groups if
-
Not Syncedyou think of some of that in the future.
-
Not SyncedAnd then the second big issue we should
-
Not Syncedfollow up on that not many people know
-
Not Syncedabout and that I am not even so clear of
-
Not Syncedhow is the ADA serves the population of
-
Not Syncedpeople who are incarcerated in jails and
-
Not Syncedin prisons and in institutions. I know the
-
Not SyncedADA amendments have been 2009 done a
-
Not Syncedbetter job of successfully helping folks
-
Not Syncedlitigate when they are isolated and there
-
Not Syncedfor not included because of their
-
Not Syncedinstitutionalized placements, but also
-
Not SyncedI am aware that not many people know about
-
Not Syncedthe number, the sheer number of people
-
Not Syncedwith disabilities visible and a lot of
-
Not Syncedinvisible who are incarcerated and who are
-
Not Syncedcaught up in that system of jailing and
-
Not Syncedaren't getting what they need inside or
-
Not Syncedshould have never been incarcerated to
-
Not Syncedbegin with bacause mayve they experience
-
Not Synceda condition that was misunderstood from
-
Not Syncedthe outset and so instead of deescalating
-
Not Synceda situation. Police need more training, we
-
Not Syncedneed to make the public more aware of how
-
Not Syncedmany people are languishing in the
-
Not Syncedinstitutions where they are not only not
-
Not Syncedproductive, but you know what a waste of
-
Not Syncedhuman capital. So, as we think about
-
Not Syncedthe black lives matter movement and the
-
Not Syncedopportunities for intersectionality, I
-
Not Syncedthink the opportunities for allies of all
-
Not Syncedkinds of civil rights groups need to come
-
Not Syncedtogether and really leverage their powers
-
Not Syncedto begin to think about not necessarily
-
Not Syncedabout defunding police or the incarcerating
-
Not Syncedinstitutions but recognizing how many
-
Not Syncedpeople of color have disabilities, how many
-
Not Syncedwomen are how many are incarcerated with
-
Not Synceddisabilities that may not even belong there
-
Not Syncedso there is so much to be done on those
-
Not Syncedtwo funds alone. And, clearly employment
-
Not Syncedpeople are still way under employed but I
-
Not Syncedknow there are folks working to improve
-
Not Syncedthat and I am trying to work with those
-
Not Syncedorganizations to araise awareness about
-
Not Syncedhow they can do better in terms of
-
Not Syncedtheir work force and retaining and
-
Not Syncedretaining and recruiting actively
-
Not Syncedprofessionals who, you know, they may not
-
Not Syncedconsider as a valuable resource but gosh
-
Not Syncedpeople with disabilities are so of the
-
Not Syncedmost creative folks because they have to
-
Not Syncedfigure out how navigate and they do have
-
Not Syncedpersepctives that are normally based on
-
Not Syncedmaybe their particular
impairment experinces -
Not Syncedbut having to navigate the world that
-
Not Syncedisn't accessible, how to find the backdoor
-
Not Syncedhow to find the policies and so there is a
-
Not Syncedlot of resilience to be found there, too.
-
Not SyncedWe need to be asking community members to
-
Not Syncedconfront ableism when they see it and part
-
Not Syncedof that is educating people on the various
-
Not Syncedforms that disability prejudice
and discrimination can take. -
Not SyncedThere is an interesting moment right now
-
Not Syncedwith regard to anti-racism frameworks
-
Not Syncedthat are getting a lot of traction and
-
Not Syncedpeople are beginning to, at least
educational institutions, -
Not Syncedstart teaching circles where many of us
-
Not Syncedare reading Ibram Kenids book how to be an
-
Not Syncedanit-racist, how to first recognize when
-
Not Syncedprejudice and discrimination exist on the
-
Not Syncedbases of race, that we could also be doing
-
Not Syncedwith books related to disability prejudice
-
Not Syncedand abilism but I really think the moment
-
Not Syncedis now to consider some of the things at
-
Not Syncedthe same time because I think we may loose
-
Not Syncednuances of people who are confronting
-
Not Syncedmultiple oppressions. Though, I am just
-
Not Syncedbringing that up because I know there is a
-
Not Syncedlot of folks at my school now thinking
-
Not Syncedabout that we review policies to find out
-
Not Synced(...) discriminatory
-
Not Syncedour policies for recruitment may have
-
Not Syncedthings embedded or cooked into the
-
Not Syncedalgorithms that are unintentionally
-
Not Syncedexcluding or failing to retain or promote
-
Not Syncedthose with disabilities at our institutions
-
Not Syncedand so, when I think about the next steps
-
Not Syncedwhat people can do I come back to, you know
-
Not Syncedwhen people say something and they may
-
Not Syncedjust not know, they are not familiar
-
Not Syncedperhaps with folks with
various disabilities -
Not Syncedand we know that contact with people who
-
Not Syncedexperienced disabilities and differences
-
Not Syncedis what makes people less prejudice
-
Not Syncedbecause they come much more aware of the
-
Not Syncedwhole person and our stereotypes are not
-
Not Syncedgeneralize-able and how if they listened
-
Not Syncedto the voices of disabled people they can
-
Not Syncedhear first hand what is problematic and
-
Not Syncedwe need to be doing by allowing folks with
-
Not Synceddisabilities to speak, to be heard and
-
Not Syncedthen to support their agendas and not
-
Not Syncednecessarily just take over.
So, the confrontation -
Not Syncedliterature is all about not necessarily
-
Not Syncedsaying: "Hey, you are a jerk. You just said
-
Not Syncedsomething racist or ableist" and putting
-
Not Syncedpeople on their defensive heels. That we
-
Not Syncedcan do this in ways that actually open up
-
Not Synceddialogues and that we should be
-
Not Syncedencouraging difficult dialogues and brave
-
Not Syncedconversations around what we can do
-
Not Syncedlocally in our houses, in our communities
-
Not Syncedin our schools and organizations to make
-
Not Syncedone change, to make one difference: to ask
-
Not Syncedwhat is our policy, do we know whether all
-
Not Syncedof our employees know what their rights
-
Not Syncedare, should we be scheduling regular
-
Not Syncedmeetings with the ADA coordinator, do
-
Not Syncedfolks know how to find information and how
-
Not Syncedto request a accommodation. Would it be
-
Not Syncedgreat if parents went into an IEP Meeting
-
Not Syncedat their schools, knowing what their kids
-
Not Syncedgot as accommodations. I think people are
-
Not Syncedso non forthcoming at organizations with
-
Not Syncedthe things that they view as
special privileges that are -
Not Syncedonly for those who, quote on quote, need
-
Not Syncedit or deserve it. And when we look at
-
Not Synceddisability rights as special privileges,
-
Not Syncedwe don't see them as civil rights that are
-
Not Syncedrequired to be met and so we could be much
-
Not Syncedmore transparent about making sure our
-
Not Syncedwebsites are not only
accessible to navigate -
Not Syncedif you have a sensory or other impairments
-
Not Syncedbut to make explicit what the policy is
-
Not Syncedfor requesting a accommodations, how you
-
Not Syncednot be fired for disclosing for example
-
Not Syncedhow we can confront things in
non-aggressive way. -
Not SyncedTo ask people when they say something
-
Not Syncedpejorative or maybe just outdated, you
-
Not Syncedknow, the word "handicap" is still out
-
Not Syncedthere i call it "handicrap", the word
-
Not Synced"special"' and we can just ask " what do
-
Not Syncedyou mean by that, what do you mean that
-
Not Syncedthey can't do that or that you curious
-
Not Syncedabout that they have sex, can you tell me
-
Not Syncedmore about why you think that and it can
-
Not Syncedstart a dialogue and that is something we
-
Not Syncedcan all do. I am still working hard to
-
Not Syncedmake my own home accessible to my 24 year
-
Not Syncedold. We did construction to modify the
-
Not Syncedhouse when we first bought it is a single
-
Not Syncedlevel so that she feel like she was a part
-
Not Syncedof the family and be able to get to all
-
Not Syncedparts of the kitchen and her bathroom but
-
Not Syncedthere you know the laundry room has one
-
Not Syncedstep that we are still negotiating how to
-
Not Syncedmake sure that she can get into garage but
-
Not Syncedthings like where we put things in the
-
Not Syncedrefrigerator. You know if you have a
-
Not Syncedwheelchair user in your family or someone
-
Not Syncedwho is a little person who may have a
-
Not Syncedcongenital or an otherwise amputated limb
-
Not Syncedand we put things on shelves without even
-
Not Syncedthinking about who can access the shelf
-
Not Syncedand my other child who happens to be abled
-
Not Syncedbodied would before dinner, you know, try
-
Not Syncedto get a snack and before we could even
-
Not Syncedsay "no" he was out the door with the
-
Not Syncedsnack. My daughter would have to come in
-
Not Syncedand say can I , can you get something of
-
Not Syncedthe top shelf from me and then we would
-
Not Syncedsay, you know, why don't you wait until
-
Not Synceddinner time and we have to be mindful
-
Not Syncedabout which drawers we want to put her
-
Not Syncedthings into. She can't feel like a second
-
Not Syncedclass citizen in her own family space and
-
Not Syncedthose are some things that we can remind
-
Not Syncedour peers who have kids with disabilities
-
Not Syncedas we try to go on and educated another
-
Not Syncedparents in our parenting roles and our
-
Not Syncedroles as educators and who are diversity
-
Not Syncedcommittees. Our diversity committee now is
-
Not Syncedtaking on accessibility as part of our
-
Not Syncedmental trying to convince others that we
-
Not Syncedneed to be doing ongoing data collection
-
Not Syncedto benchmark, I think a lot of people are
-
Not Syncedafraid of data that might say "your campus
-
Not Syncedclimate isn't the most accessible" but
-
Not Syncedunless you name the thing,
unless you document the thing -
Not Syncedthat is perhaps of concern of a less then
-
Not Syncedfully inclusive or accessible, you can't
-
Not Syncedmake progress. And, I think people
-
Not Syncedappreciate, you know, the one in four
-
Not Syncedor five people with disabilities and
-
Not Syncedtheir families appreciate when people say
-
Not Synced"we are not there yet, but this is what we
-
Not Syncedare doing and in a short term we will have
-
Not Syncedreviewed our handbooks so that at least
-
Not Syncedthis is done by this year and next year we
-
Not Syncedare going to advertise for positions in
-
Not Syncedplaces to increase the number of disabled
-
Not Syncedpeople on our staff, because students need
-
Not Syncedmentors. They need to see people that look
-
Not Syncedlike them and then have similar challenges
-
Not Syncedso that they know what is possible, so I
-
Not Syncedjust sort of conclude by
saying my daughter, -
Not Syncedyou know, made it through preschool and
-
Not Syncedhas been in several different kinds of
-
Not Syncedspaces on college campuses that aren't so
-
Not Syncedaccessilble and that are. She is working
-
Not Syncedin the education as a preschool teacher
-
Not Syncedherself. But now since
the covid-19 outbreak -
Not Syncedshe was laid off, she was furloughed from
-
Not Syncedher brand new job. And, of late she is
-
Not Syncedputting resumes back out and there must be
-
Not Syncedsomething about the pandemic now where not
-
Not Syncedmany people are wanting to go back to work
-
Not Syncedin close encounters with kids. She is
-
Not Syncedgetting one interview after another and so
-
Not Syncedshe may end up with multiple offers now
-
Not Syncedand I remind her to tell the folks that
-
Not Syncedpreschools when they get someone like her
-
Not Syncedon their staff so many students gravited
-
Not Syncedtoward her because
she has this visible signs -
Not Syncedof her disability, her wheelchair and if
-
Not Syncedyou can educate the youngs,
the preschoolers and show them -
Not Syncedpeople of all abilities can be teachers
-
Not Syncedand parents and ongoing learners, you know
-
Not Syncedthey tend to even those kids with behavior
-
Not Syncedproblems com to her. They see as this
-
Not Syncedbeacon of hope, I think, that is a real
-
Not Syncedcue for employers who ever gets my
-
Not Synceddaughter as a teacher is going to be lucky.
