The U.S. Access Board is seeking public comments on proposed approaches for technical standards for universal changing stations in medium and large hub airports, and disability community input is crucial. Universal (adult) changing tables allow many disabled people, older adults, and caregivers to safely manage personal care during travel, yet they are still rare in many airports. You can review the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and submit comments (including stories, concerns, or recommendations) to docket ATBCB-2026-0001.

The broadcast did not include English closed captions translating his lyrics. Many non-Spanish-speaking viewers felt excluded.

For Deaf and Hard of Hearing people, watching entertainment and moments without full access is not unusual. Missing captions, incomplete captions, delayed captions, context that never quite lands, access treated as optional or secondary. What felt like a glaring oversight to some viewers last week is, for others, a baseline experience. And this is not just a media story, it is a workplace story.

Myth vs. Fact: Holiday Accessibility 🎄

Myth: Holiday decorations and temporary displays don’t have to follow ADA rules.
Fact: The ADA applies year-round. Under Title III, seasonal décor, pop-up shops, and event setups must not block accessible routes, ramps, entrances, or restrooms. Temporary does not mean exempt – accessibility is always required.

Sometimes it requires seeing people with disabilities working in visible positions to expand the public’s perceptions about what people with disabilities can do.

National Disability Employment Awareness Month

Held every October, "NDEAM" refers to National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), a national campaign led by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP). NDEAM raises awareness about disability employment issues, celebrates the contributions of workers with disabilities to the workforce, and promotes inclusive workplace policies. Each year, ODEP selects a theme to guide observances and provides resources for employers, advocates, and others to plan their activities.
