Episode notes
Disability Is A Social Design Problem
- Disability justice reframes disability from an individual medical problem to a societal design failure that requires accessible communities.
- Lateef McLeod traces abuses from ugly laws and eugenics to institutionalization and calls for anti-ableist cultural change.
Follow Disabled Leadership For Practical Accessibility
- Listen to disabled people about access needs and follow their leadership when designing spaces and events.
- Hire access coordinators, ask participants to state needs, and learn from disability-led groups like Sins Invalid.
Design Meetings With Built-In Access Systems
- Build accessibility systems not one-off fixes: ramps, ASL, braille, fragrance-free policies, childcare, live-stream and backup plans.
- Create norms like an access coordinator and pre-meeting access disclosures to scale inclusion.
