#invisibledisability reminder🤍 I saw a video recently saying that people without mobility aids shouldn’t use the accessible resources (parking, bathroom stall) available to them, and I could not disagree more. Roughly 80% of disabilities are invisible and you can not tell by looking at the person that they are disabled, which means that you can not determine their accessibility and accommodation needs either! The day this was filmed, I did need to use my cane, but I couldnt due to severe hand and arm pain. There is no other visible indication to show that I needed that parking space, or I needed the accessible bathroom stall, but I DID. If you have been given resources or accommodations or if an aid, tool, or accessibility impliments improve your experiences, USE THEM. Theyre there to help you❤️ VD: Tayler, a young white thin woman with medium length brown hair, in multiple clips showing pulling her car into an accessible parking spot, putting uo her placard, and getting out of the car. Also shows her in thr accessible bathroom stall. #invisibledisabilityawareness #disability #dynamicdisability #chronicillness #chronicpain #pots #eds

Reminiscing on this ASL centered coffee shop in PDX🥰 @woodstockcafepdx is a Deaf friendly, quaint coffee shop that hosts different deaf community events such as signing nights every Tuesday evening. They have a visible menu as well as tablet menu where you can order. All staff knows ASL, and they have microphones with speech to text software at the counter for those who dont sign. Go check them out! VD: short clips of a coffee shop that has a LGBTQ+ flag in the window, abstract art on the walls, round tables, and a counter with tablets and microphone and 2 employees waving. #deaftiktok #asl #hoh #deaf #americansignlanguage #deafcommunity
