The disability community has many common terms/words that may not mean anything to newly disabled folx or allies. We've put together a list of some of these terms/equipment that people may regularly use! Disabled folx, let us know if we're missing any! #DEHEM #Disability101
1. Disability
There are many definitions for disability.
One of the most used is the CDC definition which has three dimensions to it:
1. Impairment
2. Activity limitation
3. Participation restrictions
This criterion is very broad/vague but this makes it slightly more inclusive.

This criterion is very broad/vague but this makes it slightly more inclusive.
However, this definition does not truly represent the dynamic nature of disability. Two people with the same type of disability can be affected in very different ways.
There is no one size fits all solution to anything got to do with disability.

Last week was our (half) week! This included our #DisabledRollCall/ #DEHEMRollCall, Diversity of Disciplines, discussions on NSF GRFP, mentors, medical school and personal statements and of course yesterdays awesome takeover with @codebiologist! #DEHEM
This week is Disability 101 & Intersectionality. We are looking forward to takeovers by @arianaelena97 (Tues), @nolan_syreeta (Wed) & @geomechCooke (Sat), our Fri discussion on Intersectionality, we're sharing our talk from @iscientistconf on How To Be a Good Ally & More!
Just a heads-up for those participating in #DisabledRollCall and #DEHEMRollCall, if you could try to make sure images are accessible with alt-text or image descriptions; videos with accurate captions, color-blindness friendly colors on images/graphics; and...
camel-case with the hash tags, where each word begins with a capital (e.g. #DisInHigherEd, #DisabledInSTEM), that would be much appreciated. We want to make sure our event is as accessible as possible. So, that everyone can join in and participate in the fun!
And if anyone else has any other suggestions to making posts more accessible, please let us know via DM!
What do we have in store for #DEHEM? Well, a lot!
