Re: What would you look for in a school club related to disabilities? -

I can also add that a lot of the education will come about naturally. Nothing makes you think about accessibility like having people in your life who depend on it. I follow a lot of youtubers with disabilities and chronic illnesses (which I know isn't the same thing) and the one friend I have with a severe disability who doesn't view it as a disability,and then being recently diagnosed myself. I'll find myself automatically noticing things like steps, hallway width, or braille or think "how would someone who is blind, deaf, uses a wheelchair etc." use this or come here or there?"
My friend posted on Facebook the other day how annoying it is for her when people leave their shopping carts (and motorcycles) in the handicapped parking spaces, so today when I saw a cart in the middle of the parking lot, I took it back to the store I was going into without even thinking about it.
