This month, we’re highlighting the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN), a nonprofit run by and for autistic people.

ASAN works to advance disability rights, strengthen self-advocacy, and help build a world where autistic people have equal access, rights, and opportunities. Organizations like this matter because real inclusion starts when disabled people are heard, respected, and centered in the conversations that affect their lives.

If you’d like to learn more or support their work, you can visit ASAN here: https://autisticadvocacy.org/ and support them here: https://autisticadvocacy.org/get-involved/

Kelley Vision and Technology Services receives no compensation for sharing this organization. We’re sharing it simply to raise awareness and encourage community support for work that helps move accessibility and inclusion forward.

We are very sorry.

It has come to our attention that there are around a thousand job openings right now in digital accessibility.

And many blind professionals becoming eligible for these roles are graduating from the CAT and WRAP VR job training programs at AccessAbility Officer.

And honestly…

If you’re still wondering whether this career is for you, we’re starting to get worried.

Not because you can’t get into this field…
but because you might be overlooking a career path that is growing quickly.

Every day you delay joining digital accessibility training…

Another beginner starts earning $25 per hour, works remotely, and builds a career that supports them and their families.

If you're reading this, there's still time.

And if you're still unsure whether digital accessibility is the right path for you…

We’re excited to share that we’re building a new partnership with a university in Ohio to expand access and inclusion for faculty and staff with disabilities.

We’re especially encouraged by the university’s proactive approach to supporting disabled faculty and staff. Through this collaboration,
we are continuing to advance empowerment and independence as well as the representation of these individuals on campus. This, in turn, helps to shift perspectives about what's possible when people with disabilities have the access they need.

October is World Blindness Awareness Month!

This month, we join a global effort to raise awareness about blindness and low vision, highlighting the experiences, contributions, and rights of blind and partially sighted people.

World Blindness Awareness Month is about understanding that accessibility, inclusion, and support matter every day - not just in October.

Keep an eye on our social media this month as we share stories, news, tips, and ways you can get involved in making the world more accessible for everyone! 💙
