Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey Jr., considered one of the chamber’s leading champions of disability policy, conceded in his Senate race last night, ending the Democrat’s decades-long career in Congress. Republican Dave McCormick, a former hedge fund manager, won by less than 0.5 percent, a margin that had led to an automatic recount. Casey was best known as a “mild mannered,” even “boring” moderate.

Bodhi Bhattarai’s fifth-grade field trip to Sewalls Falls to observe ecosystems aimed to bring students into nature to see firsthand the organisms they had discussed in class. For Bhattarai, however, his focus remained on the ground below him.

Not Accessible: Federal Policies Unnecessarily Complicate Funding to Support Differently Abled Researchers. We Can Change That

November 25, 2024 | Source: Federation of American Scientists

Persons with disabilities (PWDs) are considered the largest minority in the nation and in the world. There are existing policies and procedures from agencies, directorates, or funding programs that provide support for Accessibility and Accommodations (A&A) in federally funded research efforts. Unfortunately, these policies and procedures all have different requirements, processes, deadlines, and restrictions. This lack of standardization can make it difficult to acquire the necessary support for PWDs by placing the onus on them or their Principal Investigators (PIs) to navigate complex and unique application processes for the same types of support…

Disabled Catholics deserve more than parish accessibility

To make the church more accessible and welcoming, begin with awareness, says formation leader

The year I started high school, my family moved to a small town that had one Catholic community. The old parish church had a ramp out front, but once we got inside, my younger brother’s wheelchair couldn’t fit down the aisles. Our problem was solved, however, when we learned the parish had just built a brand-new complex on the outskirts of town. Its double doors were wide, there were no stairs, and the gathering space had rows of folding chairs that could easily be moved to accommodate a wheelchair…

On the edge of the idyllic coastal city of Yarmouth, Maine, a trail weaves through a dense strip of forest. There are no steep sections, just flat or gentle slopes. Hundreds of feet of boardwalk, with minimal gaps between the flush wooden planks, carry nature lovers over the top of marshy wetlands. This segment of the West Side Trail, which soon will extend to about 2.5 miles, was designed with accessibility in mind, explains trail coordinator Dan Ostrye, a member of the Rotary Club of Yarmouth, a partner in the project…

Companies Can Pay Disabled People Below Minimum Wage. The Department of Labor Wants to Change That

December 3, 2024 | Source: Mother Jones

On Tuesday, the Department of Labor filed a proposed rule that could end the subminimum wage for disabled people—beginning the process of closing a loophole that can let companies pay disabled employees less than a dollar per hour. When the federal minimum wage was established in 1938, it included a carveout that would permit companies to obtain certificates and pay disabled people less than non-disabled people. The argument for this subminimum wage is that disabled people bring less value to the workforce…

In a country where laws promise accessibility for all, particularly persons with disabilities, finding a truly ‘accessible’ public space feels like spotting a unicorn – rare and magical.
