Our statement on Josh Shapiro's recent letter to the disability community.

The ADA and the Olmstead decision are cornerstone protections that help ensure people with disabilities can live, work, and thrive in their communities.

We recognize the importance of these commitments and the need to defend them. We encourage continued leadership in protecting Olmstead and the right of people with disabilities to choose the least restrictive setting in which to live.

Community inclusion, choice, and independence must remain a priority.

People with disabilities deserve to lead lives of their own design—not just fit into systems that weren’t built for them.

At AIM, we support individuals making real choices:
✨ About their care
✨ About their careers
✨ About where they live
✨ About when and how they learn

That’s what self-determination looks like.

Let's go to the beach! 🌊🏖️

Floating wheelchairs, ramps, and beach mat pathways help make beaches more accessible, allowing more people to enjoy the freedom, fun, and relaxation of a day by the shore.

Because access to the beach should be for everyone. 💙

Overlayed on the clips, text reads: "A floating beach chair is a high-quality floating beach wheelchair designed for use on sand, soft surfaces, and in the water. With specially engineered buoyant wheels and armrests, it provides safe, comfortable access to beaches for people with disabilities and children. Because everyone deserves to enjoy the beach in the summer!"

When many people think of disability, they picture something they can see.

But millions of people live with invisible disabilities, including chronic illnesses, mental health conditions, neurodivergence, hearing loss, learning disabilities, and more that may not be immediately apparent.

Recognizing invisible disabilities helps create more inclusive workplaces, schools, and communities. It reminds us to lead with empathy, avoid assumptions, and understand that everyone experiences the world differently.

🚦 Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) help make our streets safer and more inclusive for everyone. By providing audible tones, verbal messages, and tactile features, APS give people who have vision impairments important information about when and where it’s safe to cross.

These signals promote independence, improve safety, and help ensure that all pedestrians can navigate our communities with confidence.

Every accessible crossing is a step toward a more welcoming and equitable world. 💙🚶‍♀️

Visual Description: A video montage showcasing the Accessible Pedestrian Signal in use to walk across the street. Title text reads: "Universal Design in the Wild: Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS)." Additional on screen text fades in reading, "Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) is an assistive tool for people who are blind or have low vision."

A bulleted list appears reading,

"Locator Tone: The ticking sound that helps people find the button.

Audible Walk Indication: Rapid sounds or spoken messages telling when it is safe to cross.

Vibrotactile Arrow: A raised arrow that vibrates during the walk phase to show the crossing direction."

🗳️ REMINDER:

Mail-in ballots are a vital accessibility tool that help ensure voters with disabilities can participate fully in our democracy.

During election season, many voters with disabilities face barriers such as transportation challenges, inaccessible polling locations, long wait times, health concerns, and difficulties voting independently at the polls. Mail-in voting provides a more accessible option, helping individuals cast their ballots safely, privately, and with dignity. 📬
