Time to see what's been going on in the world of HEnabled this week! As you may have seen, Maddy's episode released on Sunday. In it, they talk about their experience as a part-time student at the Open University with ADHD and other health challenges. You can catch Maddy's episode here on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. I am also very excited to announce that a new episode will be released this Sunday with the amazing Pad. We had a great time talking about his ASD diagnosis, the importance of mentoring, and the various initiatives and scholarships that he's a part of. I am really excited for this episode to release at noon on Sunday. I hope you are able to catch it! If you want to share your experience of disability, long-term health conditions, or neurodiversity in the context of the British Higher Education system, I have recording slots available for the next two weeks. Get in touch and we'll work something out!

I love being a para-equestrian. I’m proud to be one. I get to show others that people with disabilities are not mindless vegetables and that we are strong. Every time I’m on a horse I light up (whether it shows on my face or not 😂). I love what I do. I am definitely not the richest person in the sport, but I am rich in spirit and heart. I give 100% every lesson. The horses I ride mean everything to me. I have people who truly love and support me (both here and irl). I am growing and learning every day. I put my heart out in the arena. When I’m with horses, I am the best possible version of myself. . This is a bit of an earlier post this week because I am competing in the @mswheelchairfloridainc pageant this weekend to compete to be the state and possibly national advocate for people with disabilities and raise awareness about the benefits of equine assisted therapy for individuals with disabilities. Watch my story for updates! Even though I won’t be with my horses this weekend. I’m carrying them with me on this journey ❤️ . #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #equine #equines #equestrian #paraequestrian #dressage #paradressage #paradressagerider #usef #adultamateur #adultammy #equineassistedtherapy #therapeuticriding #disabilityawareness #disabilityadvocate #disabilitycommunity #mswheelchairfl #mswheelchairfl2020 #cerebralpalsy #disabledbutnotreally #breakingbarriers (at Quantum Leap Farm, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9EyKimHvZR/?igshid=1c9lvavbsrayu

Posted @withregram • @pacingpixie I've used both before but am deffos leaning towards 'non-Disabled' now. What do we think? ID: There are two headings: 'able-bodied' and 'non-Disabled'. Underneath there is a list of features. On the 'able-bodied' side it says 'By focusing on how someone is 'bodied', can be seen to overlook non-physical disabilities', 'Supports the medical model of disability by considering the condition of the body', 'Doesn't align with identity or person-first language' and 'Doesn't centre Disabled people'. On the 'non-Disabled' side, it lists: 'By focusing on whether someone is Disabled, the term is broader, including all disabilities,' 'Supports the social model by considering membership of a social group not impairment,' 'Aligns with Identity-first language' and 'Centres Disabled people'. #Disability #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityPride #Ableism #AbleismExists #DisabilityCommunity #LanguageMatters #KnowBetterDoBetter #CripplePunk #DisabilityStudies #ChronicIllness #ChronicallyAwesome #DisabledAndProud #TheFutureIsAccessible #BabeWithAMobilityAid #WheelchairDontCare #YoungAndDisabled #DiversityAndInclusion #Spoonie #SpoonieLife #Unchargeables #Inclusion #AccessibilityForAll #DisabilityIsDiversity #WordsMatter #AccessIsLove #DisabilityJustice #DisabilityAdvocacy #DisabilityActivism #Activism https://www.instagram.com/p/CTqPZ66pwOW9Wdb3kZeqcHf0mQpec6iSYpOip00/?utm_medium=tumblr

Why do guide dogs wear coats but not blind people? 2024

It might seem curious why a guide dog would be sporting a stylish coat while its human companion walks coatless on a chilly day. The answer lies in the different needs and purposes each serves:

1. A Working Uniform: Enhancing the Dog's Performance

Temperature Regulation: Guide dog coats aren't just for show. They can help regulate the dog's body temperature, which is crucial for maintaining focus and stamina while working. In hot weather, a lightweight, breathable coat can prevent overheating. In colder climates, a thicker coat helps retain warmth, allowing the dog to perform comfortably for extended periods.

Visibility and Identification: Some coats have reflective patches or bright colors that enhance the dog's visibility in low light or crowded areas, ensuring the safety of both the dog and its handler. Additionally, coats often display patches or logos indicating the dog is a working animal, prompting others to give them space while on duty.

Protection from the Elements: Guide dogs might encounter various weather conditions during their workday. Coats can offer protection from rain, snow, or debris, keeping the dog comfortable and healthy. This is especially important for maintaining good paw health, which is crucial for their work.

2. Human Comfort and Independence

Climate Control for Humans: Blind people generally have the same ability to regulate body temperature as sighted individuals. They can choose clothing appropriate for the weather to maintain comfort.

Focus on Mobility and Independence: Wearing a coat can sometimes restrict a blind person's freedom of movement, especially when navigating unfamiliar environments. A focus on tactile and auditory cues might require unimpeded arm and upper body movement.

Personal Style and Preference: Ultimately, clothing choices are a matter of personal preference. A blind person might choose not to wear a coat simply because they prefer not to.

3. A Team Effort: Different Needs, Shared Purpose

Partners in Navigation: Both the guide dog and the blind person work together as a team. The dog's coat serves a functional purpose related to its working needs, while the human prioritizes comfort and mobility for efficient navigation.

Mutual Success: Ultimately, the goal is for both the guide dog and the blind person to perform their tasks comfortably and safely. The dog's coat contributes to its well-being and focus, which translates into a smoother experience for the person relying on its guidance.

Function Over Fashion: Why Guide Dogs Wear Coats While Their Handlers Don't

The sight of a guide dog in a bright harness and coat is a familiar one. But have you ever wondered why these canine companions get decked out while their human handlers navigate the world "unclothed"? Here's the breakdown:

Visibility: A brightly colored coat makes the dog more easily recognizable in crowded areas, enhancing safety for both the dog and the handler.

Identification: Some coats might have patches indicating the dog is a working animal or carrying specific information like the handler's disability.

Human Needs vs. Canine Needs: Humans can typically adjust their clothing based on the environment. Guide dogs, however, may not have the same ability to regulate their body temperature or express discomfort.

In conclusion, the seemingly curious difference in attire between a guide dog and its handler stems from their distinct roles. The guide dog's coat is a working uniform, promoting comfort and focus during its essential service. The human companion prioritizes individual comfort and mobility for navigating their environment with the support of their canine partner.

“Disability Rights are Human Rights.” I started designing clothes for neurodiverse people after the death of Freddie Gray, who was a disabled young man that was manhandled by unknowing police officers. I wanted to embolden the community with my designs - and to ensure incidents like Freddie’s never happened again. Although, I hear more cases about people with other disabilities enduring the same fate; onlookers unsure if someone’s deaf, blind, or handicap. So in 2021, I’m going to open my work to more conditions - starting with this one. It uses ASL, Braille, the neurodiversity infinity sign, and the disabled symbol. The aim was to invoke universality - to show that we’re all in the same crowd fighting for the same mission: Disability Rights. Two years ago, I started Assistees to embolden people who were considered different. And in 2021, I hope to do just that. #disability #disabilityawareness #disabilityrights #disabilitypride #disabilitysupport #disabilityisnotinability #disabilityawarenessmonth #disabilityadvocate #Disabilityservices #disabilitysport #disabilityfashion #disabilityjustice #disabilityactivist #disabilityactivism #disabilitylife #disabilityinclusion #disabilitylifestyle #disabilitystories #disabilityarts #disabilitycommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CJl-YHxsRae/?igshid=1gwptl53n2ofc
