A Disabled Young Patient Was Sent to Get Treatment. He Was Abused Instead. And He Wasn’t the Last.
September 2, 2022 | Source: ProPublica
As Blaine Reichard rose from a breakfast table at the Choate Mental Health and Developmental Center in southern Illinois, a worker ordered him to pull up his sagging pants. A 24-year-old man with developmental disabilities, Reichard was accustomed to workers at the state-run residential facility telling him what to do. But this time he didn’t obey. “I’m a gangsta! This is how we do it where I am from!” responded Reichard, who, despite his street-tough defiance, still slept with a teddy bear. Investigators who later came to the scene of the 2014 incident heard various versions of what happened next…

A Bloomington resident who uses a wheelchair and who late this spring filed a complaint alleging parts of the new Indiana University Health hospital were not accessible to disabled or little people said last week hospital officials have addressed most of her concerns. “I am very satisfied,” Lesamarie Hacker said Friday. In June, Hacker said she could not reach the soap dispensers in the women’s bathroom, utensils and napkins in the cafeteria and could not even get food there because she could not touch most of the iPads people use to place their orders…

For 30 years, Dr. Libby Stuyt, a recently retired addiction psychiatrist in Pueblo, Colorado, treated patients with severe drug dependency. Typically, that meant alcohol, heroin, and methamphetamines. But about five years ago, she began to see something new. “I started seeing people with the worst psychosis symptoms that I have ever seen,” she told me. “And the worst delusions I have ever seen.” These cases were even more acute than what she’d seen from psychotic patients on meth. Some of the delusions were accompanied by “severe violence.” But these patients were coming up positive only for cannabis…

A new project will help students with disabilities and special education needs have better access in the classroom. The Walla Walla school district will work with the Washington Association of School Administrators on the project which will start this year. The Director of Special Education at the Walla Walla School District, Barb Casey, said the universal design for learning works to make the way things are taught accessible to all students. “Inclusionary practice is the answer to helping all students reach their full potential…” she said. “UDL isn’t about lowering the bar for any student it’s about keeping the bar high, right, but ensuring that what we’re teaching kids is able to be received.”…
Not Quietly Quitting But Quietly Returning, Older Workers Are Changing Work And Retirement
September 2, 2022 | Source: Forbes
I thought you retired,” I say teasingly to an old friend. He turns swiftly and in a somewhat irate tone, responds, “I am retired!” The 66-year old ‘retired’ engineer goes on, “I simply do what I want, when I want.” Pausing, he says, “And, for now, I want to work a bit.” His words sum it up. For many, today’s retirement looks a lot like work. The difference? Work in their retirement years is now on their terms, not their employer’s or even on society’s expectations. My friend is not alone. Many recent retirees are saying they want to work at least “a bit“ in retirement. More than 2 million people retired during the first 18 months of the pandemic…
Making a more accessible fair experience

On Wednesday Jillian Nelson and Ellie Wilson of the Autism Society of Minnesota met MPR News’ digital producer Sam Stroozas and photojournalist Ben Hovland at the MPR booth at the Minnesota State Fair. The plan was simple — set out to record a video from the point of a view of an autistic person at the fair. Nelson, who is autistic herself, led the tour. We began near the haunted house, where Nelson says is one of the loudest corners and the most anxiety-inducing for her. “Typically at this intersection it’s bumper to bumper, you can’t move. You have a lot of visual stuff coming off the haunted house and people coming into the fair,” she said…
The logistics of death can be overwhelming. New apps can offer help.
September 4, 2022 | Source: The Washington Post
What do you do after someone dies? Most people expect to deal with intense grief, but they might not realize how many logistical details arise after a death. Those tasks can feel overwhelming: deciding who to call, learning where to get death certificates, planning memorials and navigating finances. “It’s so daunting … to figure out where to even start,” grief therapist and author Claire Bidwell Smith says. Bidwell Smith’s mother died when she was 18, and her father when she was 25. Shortly before his death, he helped her make a checklist of all the things she would have to do: call the mortuary, Social Security and the bank; order this many death certificates; plan for what to do with his things…
Adaptive CrossFit Athlete Maggie Rath Opens Up About Amputating Both Her Legs In Hopes of Walking Again

Maggie Rath first suspected something was up with her health back in August 2016. Her left pinky had suddenly become stiff, achy, and peculiarly curved, she tells Shape.And when the bizarre situation didn’t clear up, her primary care doctor and a rheumatologist chalked it up to arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome. But the prescriptions she began taking for those conditionsdidn’t do the trick. In fact, over the next few weeks, “my other fingers began to bend in these abnormal, unrealistic, alien-like ways,” says Rath, then 29 years old. “I was living with just being uncomfortable all the time, but then it got to the point where it was just painful.”…

Open access to research can close gaps for people with disabilities

In a long-overdue move, the federal Office of Science and Technology Policy has issued guidance on making federally supported research and publications available to all without delay or embargo. This remarkable announcement about open access has the potential to remove information barriers that have long held back social and scientific progress. Even with immediate open access to research results, however, people with disabilities face unique barriers to information access. These issues must be considered as this policy takes shape…

The Key to Making Cybersecurity More Accessible to Everyone
September 6, 2022 | Source: Wall Street Journal
Anybody who is online is advised (and often admonished) to practice good cybersecurity hygiene as a way to protect their information from would-be thieves. But what about those who can’t? What about the people who for physical or cognitive or financial reasons are unable to follow the basic rules of cybersecurity? In short, these people are often out of luck. And the result is that they face an impossible choice: They can either be excluded from essential private and public services or become easy prey to cybercriminals…

Everyone is talking about travel, whether this is the frequent rail strikes in the UK, the many delays and flight cancellations due to the lack of staff or the travel chaos caused by issues at borders.

Theatre should be an experience that everyone can enjoy, but many disabled people find going to the theatre a disappointing and unfulfilling experience.
