Funding for disability research? One of professors I know does research on disability issues in computer science like adaptive tech that was formerly funded by nsf & others. Overnight the research to include accessibility to software has disappeared… ideas on how to push back?

Many thanks to Harriet Clarke for this testimonial for 'Disabling Capitalism: A Critical Inquiry Into Work, Productivism and Disablement' - due to be published with @brisunipress.bsky.social in early 2027 & can be preordered now.
#Capitalism #Disability #DisabilityResearch #NewBook
''Disabling Capitalism offers compelling research underpinning a vital political analysis of how 'welfare' policies and economic structures and practices organise work, work that can be unseen, unpaid and unequally valued. By centring the lived experiences of disabled people navigating on-demand labour, Chis challenges the persistent (and harmful) belief that work-centric policy is inherently benign. Her bold contribution opens up new ways of understanding work and disability, and invites us to imagine more hopeful futures.'' - Harriet Clarke, Associate Professor in Social Policy, University of Birmingham

Article: Addressing Gaps in Ontario’s Sexual Health Education: Supporting Healthy Sexual Lives in Young Adults with Disabilities

doi.org/10.3390/sexe...

#DisabilityResearch 🧪
Screenshot of title and abstract: Addressing Gaps in Ontario’s Sexual Health Education: Supporting Healthy Sexual Lives in Young Adults with Disabilities This study examines how Ontario’s Health and Physical Education curriculum addresses the needs of young adults with disabilities. A total of 54 individuals aged 18–35 years old with developmental, learning, or physical disabilities who had completed secondary school in Ontario participated in a cross-sectional mixed-methods survey. Participants were recruited through disability-focused community networks and a university psychology participant pool. They completed the Sex Education subscale of the Sexual Knowledge, Experience, Feelings and Needs Scale, a 35-item sexual knowledge questionnaire, and open-ended questions. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests; qualitative responses were examined using thematic analysis. Participants reported limited factual knowledge, minimal classroom representation, and heavy reliance on independent learning. Barriers included inaccessible materials, teacher discomfort, and the absence of disability narratives in sexuality units. Findings point to three priorities: revising curriculum content, expanding educator training, and creat- ing disability-affirming resources. These measures will help ensure comprehensive and rights-based sexuality education that supports the autonomy and well-being of students with disabilities.
