This blog post was written by Paul Tudisco. Paul is the creator of Limitless Stylus – a stylus meant for people with limited hand mobility, who cannot use their fingers very well with a touchscreen device. I am 29 years old and ever since I was born, I have had Cerebral Palsy. For me, It has been very difficult to utilize touch screen devices due to my limited mobility. What inspired me to create this product was the struggle I faced with trying to use touch screen devices. I wanted to come up with some sort of device that would eliminate the hardships that I and people with limited mobility like mine have to face. By creating the Limitless Stylus, I hope to reach out to many others like me help them the same way the Limitless Stylus has helped me. I developed The Limitless Stylus in 2012 in order to improve the lives of individuals with Cerebral Palsy and others who have limited motor skills who use touch screen devices by utilizing a stylus that attaches to the wrist using two Velcro Straps. This is an adaptive technology that will allow individuals with a disability to access [...]

The Reformed Church in America encourages churches to celebrate Disability Sunday on October 11 and the Christian Reformed Church on October 18. This year, our theme is Agility. Terry DeYoung, Coordinator for Disability Concerns Ministry of the RCA writes, In my efforts to do life everyday—working, driving, shopping, socializing, participating in church, etc.—the physical disabilities I’ve had since birth require that I figure out stuff all the time. I must anticipate, plan, be vulnerable, and negotiate. That’s why I may say things like: “Can you help me with this? . . . Are there any other options? . . . That’s why I requested this accommodation in advance. . . . No, I’ve got this, but thanks for offering to help.” I don’t delight in coming across as a high-maintenance person who needs to have things my way. Agility calls for my respectful negotiation with others in order to function in a world that wasn’t designed with me in mind. Contrary to assumptions, people with disabilities tend to be highly agile, because they must navigate physical and social structures that are created by and for people who do not have disabilities. In this way, we can and often do “dis-able” people from participating in and joining our churches. Healthy church communities learn from people who have disabilities and provide opportunities for them to lead. Ideas to celebrate disability week include these: Use the attached bulletin insert and slides for worship. Distribute one or both of our Disability Emphasis Week devotionals to the congregation.

Just because you see someone with a disability, it doesn’t mean you need to rush to fix it, or change it, or make it all better. Just support us. Be there when we need help with something, and let us be independent when we don’t. We will let you know when we need help. Most of all, remember we are just like everyone else. We just get things done a little differently sometimes. -Marie Harman https://themighty.com/topic/disability/people-with-disabilities-dont-need-to-be-fixed-or-cured/

The third major area of intervention for Foundation, Our Disability Programme works with children and youth with disabilities in the areas of education and skill development.
I think we would all agree that we wish some part of our bodies looked or functioned a little differently. Covering things like gender, identity, illness, disability, sexuality, and death, Allberry thoughtfully helps us understand why our bodies matter and how we should view them. Though we feel the brokenness of our bodies, we wait expectantly for God's promised redemption and this is good news!

wonder...what if doctors, specialist, therapist, teachers and support teams all viewed a disability diagnosis as a means to provide the tools and resources needed to reach maximum success in life, instead of it being presented as something negative that holds you back or limits it. What if we changed the way the system operates.

If you have a disability, or you're a parent of a child who has a disability, you have probably sat in a IEP meeting at school, or a therapy appointment or some kind of doctor's appointment where the specialist or teacher has talked about your disability or your diagnosis and all the challenges and adversity that comes with it. You may often hear how "we need to focus on these areas of weakness" or "we need to create a goal to improve this..." or "you're very behind or below standards in this area, compared to everyone else." To be honest with you, when I personally hear this consistently repeated, I just want to stop the whole meeting or appointment and scream. How about the their strengths? What about focusing on and acknowledging the areas and things that they really great at?
