How can we start making healthcare more accessible and inclusive for disabled people of color? @citchensprucetameka of the Michigan Disability Rights Coalition @my_mdrc shares these 3 strategies:
1. Make sure the physical space is accessible, including things such
as wheelchair scales.
2. Check your own biases – we all have biases towards people who are
different.
3. Learn about how different systems impact communities of color and
people with disabilities.
Alongside Tyra Randle @tyra_symone and Nila Morton @nilanmorton, Tameka presented “Combating Racism and Ableism in Healthcare” at
Reeve Summit 2024, in Washington, D.C.

Posted @withregram • @promisecommunityhomes Project complete! We are constantly working to make improvements to our facilities, and this little ramp is a big win! Where there was once just a blank wall, we now have a ramp/steps and a door directly into our gym allowing for easier access and use of the space. A huge thank you for all the work done by our friends at @dhpacecompanyinc and for the generous grant funding provided by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation (@reevefoundation) and the Sunnen Foundation.

Today, Thursday, February 29, 2024, Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced a new proposed rule at the US Department of Transportation to strengthen implementation of the Air Carrier Access ACT (ACAA), ensuring that wheelchair users can travel safely, with dignity and respect. The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation is thrilled with this proposed rule, as accessible air travel is a top priority of the Foundation.

We`re so excited for Kemi Yemi-Ese to host an #AdaptiveArt demonstration and workshop at #ReeveSummit2024!
Posted @withregram • @kemisart Thrilled to share that in 2 weeks I’ll be hosting an adaptive art workshop at the @reevefoundation Reeve Summit 2024: Building Healthy Futures! Join me from March 6-8, 2024, at the Hilton Washington DC Capitol Hill, as we explore adaptive art. This premier event is a chance for advocates, caregivers, and researchers to exchange innovative ideas and shape a future where everyone is valued and included. Register now at ChristopherReeve.org/ReeveSummit. #JoinReeve #TodaysCare #BuildingHealthyFutures
Also, @eazyhold has donated their adaptive universal cuffs for use in my workshop! These silicone straps can be secured onto tools such as paint brushes and daubers to create a comfortable grip for kids and adults with limited hand strength and range of motion. These assistive devices help to make painting more accessible for everyone, and I’m looking forward to trying them out with my workshop attendees!
