It’s the year 2022, and Henry Claypool still has trouble getting ride-sharing companies to send a wheelchair-accessible car to his home. Smartphone apps like Uber and Lyft were supposed to democratize transportation for marginalized groups — but for wheelchair users like Claypool, this was always a false promise. “I live in Arlington, Virginia, still inside the square that makes up DC just across the river,” said Claypool, who is the former director of the Office on Disability in the US Department of Health and Human Services. “And I’ve never been able to hail a wheelchair-accessible vehicle to my location.”…

Patrick Perdue, a radio enthusiast who is blind, regularly shopped for equipment through the website of Ham Radio Outlet.

Accessibility challenges persist for students with dyslexia

Before introducing new tools and resources into the classroom, educators should ensure they’re accessible for students with all learning abilities, including dyslexia. Early screening can help identify struggling learners, including students with dyslexia, so they get the support needed. But if new platforms or services aren’t fully researched before being introduced to classrooms, they may need to be retrofitted to learners’ needs. Asking students what they think they need is a solid first step, said Lindsay Kubatzky, director of policy and advocacy for the National Center for Learning Disabilities…
