"[Intensive Interaction] does not ask the person with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities to enter our communicative world,

it asks us to enter theirs,

and that can make all the difference."

A promotional graphic from Rutgers–New Brunswick Office of Disability Services for National Deaf History Month. An illustrated purple figure signs "Hi to you!" with a speech bubble. Text reads: "Three Main Reasons Why Deaf History is Celebrated: April 15, 1817, America's first public school for the deaf was opened; April 8, 1864, Gallaudet University was officially founded (the first higher education of the deaf and hard of hearing); To celebrate and cherish deaf culture.

April is #DeafHistoryMonth! 🤟 This month honors the milestones and rich culture of the Deaf community. Let's celebrate Deaf history — today and every day.

and so just like being Trans, being Autistic (capital A) is a culture

A group of people first discussed publicly as pathology, an error, illness, injury & a decidedly negative thing to be

We know better now and they can’t take that wisdom & community from us

COSP19 Explained: Why It Matters for Disability Rights If you’re new to international disability rights, the Conference of States Parties (COSP) might sound like something complicated happening far away.

Canada has a seat at the UN table but do disabled Canadians know what it’s about and why it matters?
COSP19 is the biggest international meeting on disability rights and it’s happening June 2026.

Building Job Skills for People with IDD: Why Inclusion Matters Often, researchers or projects want to learn more about people with IDD. When they do, they should always include people with IDD as part of their team. The best way to learn about people with IDD is by working with people with IDD. It is also good for people with IDD to gain skills while working on projects. Building job skills helps to get a job.

Inclusion matters! Read about building job skills from working on projects. Share with your network.

Stop deleting comments when you claim to be an advocate. You are a hypocrite. Then you block people who disagree with you.

Trad Lives CSI "I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own."

Christine G, one of our regular contributors to 'Nothing About Us Without Us,' wrote this powerful article for Women History Month. Here is the link: disabilitycommunityfordemocracy.substack.com/p/trad-lives.... #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #DisabledMedia #DisabilityMedia #DisabilitySky #Disability

I’m hoping the story will be a counter to all the awful nonsense that’s been in the press recently from so-called autism ‘experts’ who aren’t autistic themselves and treat us horribly

PFT members are seen holding signs for a fair contract in the background. In the foreground is the text: "The Special Education teaching shortage in Philly is a crisis. Our CBA creates the 'Special Education Teacher Certification Assistance PRogram' (TCAP). Eligible members receive full financial assistance from the School District." Followed by the PFT tagline: Nothing about us, without us.

In addition to raises and better benefits, our CBA expands opportunity for members while offering solutions to public ed's biggest problems. We're proud to have negotiated full financial assistance for #PhlEd teachers to earn special ed certification! ❤️💪🏽 #UnionStrong #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
