I Fried an Egg

November 17, 2020 by Elizabeth Clark Leave a Comment

I Fried an Egg

Last night I fried eggs and bacon for Ian and me.  I have not cooked on a stovetop without anyone to assist me in about eight yrs.  I have always loved cooking, well baking if you want to get specific. When I moved at the end of the summer, I was really fortunate to get […]

As the ADA Turns 30, It’s Time to Give It Wheels

As the ADA Turns 30, It’s Time to Give It Wheels

This year the ADA, which was designed to give equal access to the disabled, turns 30. Yet still, we live in a segregated society. As a person with a disability, where I live is not decided by my choice as an American but instead by the state and federal government when they decide which communities […]

The ADA, Parenthood, and Empowerment

July 26, 2020 by Chris Wylie Leave a Comment

The ADA, Parenthood, and Empowerment

When I wrote about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) a few years ago in a piece titled, Reflections on #ADA27, here for Disabled Parenting Project (DPP), I largely focused on my daughter and inclusion. As I reflect on it today for #ADA30, not much has changed, and yet so much has changed all at […]

Growing up with the ADA

July 26, 2020 by Jennifer Senda Leave a Comment

Growing up with the ADA

The Americans with Disabilities Act was- and is- a revolutionary piece of legislation. It has impacted my life and the lives of others since its inception. I barely remember what life was like before the ADA, which was signed the year I turned eight. I recently had the opportunity to watch ​Crip Camp​, and it […]

Missing my Daughter: Reflections from a Disabled Dad During the Coronavirus

Missing my Daughter: Reflections from a Disabled Dad During the Coronavirus

My thirteen-year-old daughter is sick.  Cough, fever, and the rest. By now we all know the symptoms.  COVID- 19? Who knows? There are no testing kits.  What I do know is that I have to be especially careful as a high-risk person with cerebral palsy, asthma, and chronic bronchitis. So, I assume it’s everywhere – […]

Remembering Carrie Ann Lucas

February 24, 2020 by Maria Palacios Leave a Comment

Remembering Carrie Ann Lucas

In the history of our disability rights movement, there have been many lives who changed our lives through the lessons of their personal story, and the power of their advocacy.  The non-disabled world knows little to nothing about the unsung heroes of our movement, the ones to whom we owe our healthcare rights, our parental rights, […]

Teachable Moments

February 12, 2020 by Jennifer Senda Leave a Comment

Teachable Moments

As a parent with a disability, I firmly believe in teachable moments, learning experiences, and the like. The parenting experience has definitely been one of self-awareness, joy, tears, and yes, even pain. It is impossible for my son to pretend I fit into the societal expectations of what a mom should be because the cards […]

The Truth About the 100th Day of School

DISCLAIMER: I am not judging any of my fellow parents or their kiddos for participating in this, but I do hope my perspective will challenge you to think carefully about whether and how you decide to do so. I know that there is no ill intent, and that this is something meant to be fun and […]

The Place That Will Make You Actually Want to Take Your Kids to a Waterpark This Summer

January 29, 2020 by Erin Andrews 1 Comment

The Place That Will Make You Actually Want to Take Your Kids to a Waterpark This Summer

Last June, I reviewed Morgan’s Wonderland, an “ultra-accessible” playground/theme park. I promised I’d visit the separate water park there, and we went in August 2019. I figured the middle of winter is as good a time as any to write about the experience! I’ll start by saying that I hate, absolutely hate and abhor the […]
