Disability is often overlooked in the quest for wokeness.
Race, class, gender, sexual orientation are often more readily apparent than disability, carry far less stigma, are a lot sexier and even come with a rainbow! It makes sense to pay attention to disability, though: it’s powerful intersection between all things (race, class, gender, sexual orientation), and of course, is the only minority group anyone can join any day.

While the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) established rules to help disabled Americans access businesses in the real world, accessing online businesses has become a growing problem in recent years, stemming from a lack of accessibility options on many websites. As a result, online businesses are running the risk of alienating visually impaired consumers and potentially locking themselves out of a major revenue stream in the process, according to a newly released study.
New York, Augmented Reality (AR) glasses can help people with low vision better navigate their environment as the eye-wearable device managed to enhance mobility and function in patients who have difficulty with peripheral vision or seeing in low light, say researchers.
The research was conducted with patients suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited degenerative eye disease that results in poor vision.
The non-profit that runs a network of radio stations for Australia’s blind and low vision community says it will be off the air by next year unless the government intervenes to restore its funding.

Scientists from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Italy have developed an eye implant to restore the eyesight of a blind person by stimulating the optic nerve with a new type of an intraneural electrode called OpticSELINE.
