Exhausterwhelmulated: Adjective

The feeling of being exhausted, overwhelmed, and overstimulated all at once.

Who can relate?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s impact on the civil rights movement inspired disability rights leaders to organize to create and pass disability legislation such as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Follow his lead to stand for humanity, compassion, and justice today and every day.

How well a deaf person can listen and speak is not a way to measure their intelligence.
My favorite print from liberaljane.store

“English is a language, not a way to measure someone’s intelligence.”

Reason 1,237 why deaf students need Teachers of the Deaf.

Teacher: “He’s not struggling because of his hearing loss, but because he won’t do the reading. I let him retake the test 10 times until he passes.”

Etching its name in history!

The California School for the Deaf, Riverside, a CDE State Special School, secured its third consecutive CIF Southern Section 8-person Division 1 football championship over the weekend!

I often use my deaf self as an example. “Just because I am the only deaf person in this hearing-centric space does not mean I am included. I may be in the moment, but as soon as something in the environment changes, so does my access.”

“Inclusion” for disabled students manifests as integration.

I participated in three Deaf Education Professional Development presentations in one week: two for future school administrators (consulted) and one for current administrators (co-presented). It barely scratches the surface with an audience entrenched in hearing norms.

Sign language access is a human right. Language withholding brings unnecessary blight.
Terrific slides laying out research data for why sign language access is a human right for deaf children by the incomparable @dclm.bsky.social, review them here!
Slides from my BUCLD keynote “Sign Language Acquisition is a Human Right” are now posted on slla.lab.uconn.edu/family-asl/ (scroll to Related Presentations, open 2024)

Um. Yes!
Integration is not inclusion.
Note: if you're talking about the failure of inclusive education, check your definitions.

Putting disabled children in a mainstream classroom sounds great but that's only _integration_.

This is NOT AT ALL the same thing as _inclusion_, which demands adequate resources, adaptations, and support.

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social was part of my morning routine and I expect she will be once again. I haven't finished processing our new reality.
If you're looking for alternatives to traditional media I hope you'll consider my newsletter, Civil Discourse, which focuses on the intersection between law & politics & is free. I've been writing about Trump's connection to Project 2025 for over a year joycevance.substack.com/p/project-20...
Project 2025: It's On (Predictably)
Before Bill Barr became Donald Trump’s third attorney general, he circulated a memo that was more or less an audition tape for the job he ultimately got.
