Disability visibility : first-person stories from the Twenty-first century / by Wong, Alice,1974-editor.;
Includes bibliographical references."A groundbreaking collection of first-person writing on the joys and challenges of the modern disability experience: Disability Visibility brings together the voices of activists, authors, lawyers, politicians, artists, and everyday people whose daily lives are, in the words of playwright Neil Marcus, "an art . . . an ingenious way to live." According to the last census, one in five people in the United States lives with a disability. Some are visible, some are hidden--but all are underrepresented in media and popular culture. Now, just in time for the thirtieth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, activist Alice Wong brings together an urgent, galvanizing collection of personal essays by contemporary disabled writers. There is Harriet McBryde Johnson's "Unspeakable Conversations," which describes her famous debate with Princeton philosopher Peter Singer over her own personhood. There is columnist s. e. smith's celebratory review of a work of theater by disabled performers. There are original pieces by up-and-coming authors like Keah Brown and Haben Girma. There are blog posts, manifestos, eulogies, and testimonies to Congress. Taken together, this anthology gives a glimpse of the vast richness and complexity of the disabled experience, highlighting the passions, talents, and everyday lives of this community. It invites readers to question their own assumptions and understandings. It celebrates and documents disability culture in the now. It looks to the future and past with hope and love."--

The canary code : a guide to neurodiversity, dignity, and intersectional belonging at work / by Praslova, Ludmila N.,Author(DLC)n 2023067258;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 272-318) and index.Introduction: unincludable talent -- Part one: foundations -- Neurodiversity primer: a treasure in around your head -- Holistic inclusion: the key to belonging -- The canary code: radical inclusion for holistic belonging -- Part two: removing barriers to employment access -- The hiring process -- Starting off right: onboarding, training, accommodations, and pay -- Part three: removing barriers to success -- Work environment: flexible spaces -- Work organization: productivity and purpose -- Psychological work environment: de-toxifying work -- I just want to be myself: performance evaluation and performance management -- Part four: leadership matters -- Leading for inclusion: the why -- Leading for inclusion: the how -- Leadership practices: breaking the neuroexclusion ceiling -- Leadership practices: leading while stigmatized -- Conclusion: every changemaker."The Canary Code is a groundbreaking framework for intersectional inclusion and belonging at work that embraces human cognitive, emotional, and neurobiological differences--neurodiversity. Despite their skills and work ethics, members of autistic, ADHD, Tourette Syndrome, learning differences, and related communities face barriers to hiring and advancement. In the U.S., 30-40% of neurodivergent people and 85% of autistic college graduates struggle with unemployment. Yet, like canaries in the coal mine, they are impacted by issues that ultimately harm everyone. Lack of flexibility, transparency, and psychological safety exclude neurodivergent, disabled, and multiply marginalized talent--and leave most employees stressed and disengaged. This book helps CEOs, human resources and DEI leaders, managers, and consultants design neuroinclusive and thriving workplaces where everyone can do their best work. It draws on examples of pioneering organizations, human stories, academic research, and the author's decades of experience. Organizational psychologist and member of the autistic community, Ludmila N. Praslova, PhD., offers a comprehensive framework for building neuroinclusive workplaces. Embedding the 6 "Canary Code" principles across the talent cycle can unlock human thriving and productivity: Participation; Outcome focus; Flexibility; Organizational justice; Transparency; Valid Measurement. This unique book combines the lived autism experience with cutting-edge organizational thinking, academic rigor, and passionate, artful writing"--.

In this guide, disabled witch Kandi Zeller sets out to change that. Through 90 inclusive (and sometimes spicy) magickal rituals designed for witches with disabilities of all kinds--especially the invisible ones--Disabled Witchcraft lays out a truly accessible magickal practice with a solid dose of humor and heart. If your spoons (aka available energy and executive function) are limited on any given day, that doesn't need to be a hindrance to following your spiritual path. From guidance on using crystals for nervous-system regulation to tarot readings for spoonies to laying a curse upon unjust health systems, you'll find practical tools to harness the magick of your disabilities, fight both ableism and capitalism, and embrace a more expansive version of the path."--
