are you pregnant??

I'm sorry but we Don't need to change how a whole room speaks just for one person. That blind person needs an assistant to give him/her a better description if that's what they want. What's next, announcing your blood type for blood transfusion patients. This is way outta hand

She is Eritrean 🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷

I love your videos! Don’t stop uploading

"We don't have to be a single issue, people." Well said

I love your examples of chairs and lights as accommodations so much; I'm going to be thinking of others pretty much forever now. The whole event was really interesting and I learned a lot. I'm a little sad that the video is unlisted on the White House Channel and I appreciate you linking to it in some of your other excerpts.

Awesome 👍

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Im tryina figure out whi she talking to

There's a mix-up with the captions. I recognize some of it from a prior video about your college cafeteria menus.

ugh ofc you'd need to lable it as something "ablelism" - now that's what i call labelism

This is idiotic.

Why have teachers when they can be homeschooled? How accommodating to have roadways...

Well she’s actually 100% wrong! My vision is 20/401 I the other guy is 20/200 I am legally blind I am not allowed to drive a car my depth perception is definitely off to put on any make up I have to use a number 20 magnifier and to be able to read anything I use a number 15 magnifier so please tell me why I would not need any light to see? She is wide-eyed and has no knowledge or wisdom just needs to be acknowledged.

i’m a disabled adult going to college soon and i hope to eventually work in a museum so this is interesting! i hope to specifically work in making museums accessible

A beautiful lesson, thanks ❤

It shows how much we actually take for granted.

It’s hard to discern if this is a joke or not. 😂

In this case, accommodations means "compromise or settlement" according to the second definition in Merriam-Webster. When using this term applied socially, we are citing legal terminology of accommodation for disability, which means a compromise or settlement to do things outside of the norm. I'm not saying that you're wrong about justly requesting accommodations. People should not feel upset when needing to provide accommodations. These accommodations are extraordinarily important, and allow us to have a much richer and more diverse society. We all benefit when accommodations are provided for those with specific disabilities, by allowing those people to participate in society, and benefiting from their unique perspectives and abilities. That being said, I don't think your argument quite works. It is important to understand that it is can be difficult and expensive to prepare and accommodate for needs that are outside of the norm. It's always a difficult situation, and I say that from my much easier position of not experiencing most disabilities. I have received accommodations for a few, but in general, I really need accommodation, so I recognize that I do not understand how difficult it can be for some people with specific disabilities. I just think it's not a simple issue.

When you're right, you're right. 😅

That is hilarious 😂

The other difference is the amount of people that need that exact accommodation. The more the better because money ~ Same thing with disease that many people have. They get many treatment options. Those that don't happen to often r of no interest. (If u can't sell it to many peeps u won't make as much money by inventing those new things.)

It’s all about perspective. Love her humour.

Never saw it like that. Wow

How sad 😢 Get a helmet ⛑️ 🪖

One eye jack

I don't know where I read it, but someone gave the great examples of some things that non-disabled people get accommodations for, simply because their bodies can't fly or teleport. The accommodations are called trains, airplanes, cars, and bicycles.

'special things'? wow, that manager should have been fired!

Anbesit Haben!

Thank you for sharing! It is wonderful to see two people that I really admire having these important discussions ❤

I love this video, impressed of the power of breathing itself. You are teaching us a lot..

Great work

What you said is important. You can say the same thing without using “ableist.” In the before times groups educated people without insulting them.

Thankyou so very much, you remind me of friends of mine, and although I'm not disabled but suffer from extreme depression, still they continue to SIT in the dark room with me until I feel Comfortable. They do this for me Consistently and Selflessly.❤

❤❤❤

It makes sense, but I never knew there was a machine that could turn sound into Braille in real time, that is so freakin' cool!

Thank you for this talk, I am sending it to a few people who need to learn about this.

This is all so good for me to see and hear! Often when I am out and about I find myself impatient and in a hurry. I need to dial it back.

My youngest son has Cerebral Palsy and significant delays. He moves slowly and carefully and retrieves information from his brain slowly. I have learned from Sam to slow my physical body down AND I have learned to slow down before I speak. These are great skills in this fast 2 dimensional existence. I thank him for this and admire Sam’s perseverance in the face of “normal “ folk wanting him to go faster.

Such a good presentation Haben.

Great speech

You spoke truth and with patience i listened and understood.

I'm so glad some of it was recorded because I was too slow to RSVP!

👏👏🖤🖤🖤💯

Wow! This is such an amazing speech. I was never aware about slow-shaming. Thank you for sharing queen.

🎉❤

I like how the old sound design for the oko app sort of mimicks the APS push button sounds in a way.
