You do not have to be ADA Disabled™ to join this group. You can be curious, discovering what’s up, in the middle of a diagnosis, choose not to disclose, etc. We welcome everyone. We cannot promise anonymity because we are an open group – but we do provide peer support, resources, and a place to talk.
Disability Staff Forum's Mission & Values
- First and foremost to support disabled individuals on campus and to provide visibility to their experiences.
- To highlight the intersectional experiences of disabled individuals.
- To foster social and professional connection amongst disabled employees on campus.
OAE & SCLS Present TL Lewis on Racism and Ableism
Held by the Office of Accessible Education, the Division of Student Affairs, and the Stanford Critical Law Society.
Talila A. Lewis is an abolitionist community lawyer, educator, and organizer who unites movements for justice by making manifest the inextricable links between ableism, racism, classism, and all forms of systemic and structural oppression.
Emergency Chat
Emergency chat can be used in any situation where speech is impossible but communication is still necessary.
The splash screen has a base text that explains to any person you give your phone to that you can't use speech and want to use this app to communicate. You can then continue to the next screen which has a simple chat client.
