Input #DisabilityTwitter: "Most instututions are are federally funded and thus has to include disability in statements. Unfortunately, disability is a spectrum & doesn't have it's own culture. (Deaf culture is the outlier) So it's hard to be seen as a unified culture. 1/
This was my question: Why do you believe that disability has made it into DEI statements of most institutions, yet has remained limited to accessibility and accommodations without being seen as a cultural group deserving of diversity program focused on disabled students in 2/

I feel like the answer denies the existence of the Disabled community and brings into existence the medical model of disability where a large part of my identity has been limited to the conditions in my chart or the accommodations I am eligible for. #DisabilityTwitter and 4/
#NeuroDiverseSquad, thank you all so much for all of your support. It is weird to be listening to @Okanlami and then feel like a part of me has been denied in the Q&A box. I have enjoying @DiMConf2021, it was just this one moment that took me aback a bit. #DiM2021 5/5
