Accessible Medication Tracker. Here is an iOS app that will help you remember to take all of your medications. Rosemary Orchard from the iOS Today podcast from the TWIT Network is one of the creators of this app and is dedicated to keeping it accessible. It even has an accessibility section in its settings. The name of the app is, Capsule Medication Tracker. You can download and track 2 medications for free. Over 2 medications cost a subscription of $2 per month or $15 per year. I recommend checking out this app if you need an accessible way of keeping track of your medication. Here is the app store link... apps.apple.com/us/app/capsule- #Medication #Tracker #Remember #helper #Memory #ios #blind #accessible

35 years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law, promising a new world of access and opportunity for #Disabled Americans. Much has improved since then, but as this past year has painfully reminded us, our hard-won rights can be distressingly fragile, and the fight for an #Accessible world and full equality for all disabled people is far from over. Today, BPI joins the rest of our community in celebrating how far we've come and all who fought to get us here, while acknowledging how far we still have to go. #Blind #LGBTQ

Can anyone recommend a modern body weight scale that is accessible, either via self-voicing, or bluetooth connection? If via self-voicing, anything that doesn't shout the measured weight so loud, that anyone within 500 feet can hear it? Anyone who has used these products in the past will most certainly be aware that the "blind equals deaf" stereotype that is clearly pervasive in the overwhelming majority of these products. I'm hoping there is something out there that does not make this assumption, and has a volume adjustment beyond mute and yell.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Sorry - but first can we make basic #healthcare for the entire #world #population #free and #accessible before we wonder about #AI helping find new medication? And before you quote #obama on "walk and chew gum" - there is zero evidence of that actually happening in the real world.

Talk To Me, Not Around Me: The Erasure of Disabled Voices in Everyday Interaction

Seriously, I get that not everyone is able to do #accessible and #performant #forms and #Websites and that #JavaScript is trendy and hip.

  • But this seriously isn't funny anymore, but insulting!

Today in #history: In 1978, The Gang of 19 - a group of #disability rights advocates - threw themselves in front of public busses in Denver and blocked a major intersection until representatives of the transportation department were willing to discuss the absence of wheelchair #accessible busses. This #protest is considered one of the foundational events that spurred the disability rights movement that ultimately led to the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
