📢 April is Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month (LLLDAM) — a time to celebrate resilience, share experiences, and raise awareness for the 5.6 million people across the U.S. who have limb loss or limb difference.

We're excited to spotlight The Power of Sports for Amputees. This award-winning short documentary follows the journeys of three people living with limb loss as they reclaim identity, confidence, and purpose through adaptive sports. New at Journeys in Film!

Our Bell Ringer / Mini Discussion Guide explores the framing of ability and disability, the healing power of sports, obstacles and access in adaptive sports, and inclusion and belonging in the workplace. It’s great for community building and inclusion! For grades 7-12, adult/higher ed.

Semantic HTML has existed since 2014, and we still see developers using div soups everywhere. A header tag, a main tag, and a footer tag. That’s all it takes to start making your website accessible to screen readers and search engines. It’s not complicated. It just requires us to care.

There was a website that held a library of common elements of modern UI/web app design, assessed for their attentional harm or addictive qualities. I don't remember if it had these exact items, but you would find things like "infinite scroll" and "notification badges" on there, along with research and recommended best practices.

Does anyone know what it is I'm thinking of?

Honest note: our devices don't fix hearing loss.

What they do: use AI to boost speech clarity and reduce background noise. They help in specific situations like noisy restaurants, family gatherings, watching TV.

If you have significant hearing loss, see an audiologist. If you need a boost in challenging listening situations, we might help.
