Are there good resources for #deaf, #blind, or otherwise #disabled hams? I'm not just talking about #disabilityaccommodations during the test -- though that's good to know too -- but actual #assistivetechnology for #hamradio operation?

(He's said that you can message him about getting them for less if money is tight.)

It was originally made for medical appointments at lax facilities, but you can really use it anywhere.

For all of the academics on here who are learning about #accessibility and adding image descriptions, please take that inclusive energy with you the next time a student gives you their accommodation letter from the disability office or when you're considering your attendance policy.

Even better, consider reading up about #UniversalDesignForLearning or #UDL.
