What Our Sections Contain

Resources

What resources are really available for people with disabilities? What ones are mandated and for who? How do you even begin to access them? These are common questions about the resources that disabled folks are trying to access. That is why this section is dedicated to finding those resources and explaining them.

The Future

The 2024 election, wasn't all we expected, for better or for worse, and there are a lot of significant changes coming very quickly from the new federal administration. This section is dedicated to what you need to know about what is happening in the federal government and how it effects disabled folks.

Caution

The disabled community is already considered a "vulnerable" group of people, and unfortunately there are individuals out there that only want to use the community's position to take further advantage of its members. This is a section dedicated to explaining who some of those dangerous groups are and what effect they have on disabled folks.

Terminology

There a lot of words related to the disabled community and its members, and they are constantly changing as time goes on. It can be a bit confusing to try and navigate medical, social, historical, and slang terms without some guidance. This section is full of various terms, their definitions, and context if necessary.

Community

Every member of the disabled community is uniquely important--having their own experiences, feelings, advice, and more. It is often hard for our voices to be heard though. That is why this section is dedicated to receiving and sharing disabled voices. Comments and resources that are submitted will be reviewed before being officially shared so that our promise of respect and truthfulness can continue to be upheld.

Care For Yourself

Knowing what resources you have available is truly important when it comes to living with disability, but it is also important that the ways to enjoy life beyond simply existing is also essential for well-being. This section is dedicated to being a collection of various media sources of disability-centered works.

Promise to the Community

This is indented to be a space for the collection and sharing of information for the benefit of the disabled community. Various parts contain sensitive topics, critical information, and uncertain terms.
