Today I was called "wheelchair person" and "person with accessibility challenges." I don't identify as either of those things but I do identify as a disabled person, thank you so much for asking.

Mask requirements end today in Ontario. I’ll still be wearing mine when entering shops because it’s a chill & easy way for me to make that space safer for others.
And I’d rather save my risk budget for moments when it’s more meaningful to not mask.

100% of kids< 5 are unvaccinated.
70% of kids 5-11 are not fully vaccinated.

People use wheelchairs for independent mobility. Do not use terms such as confined to a wheelchair or wheelchair-bound. If a wheelchair is needed and that fact is relevant to the story, make clear why.

Just a heads up the Red Flags meme sounds like hell when using screen readers. Please be kind to blind people like me. 1-3 emojis is fine. You don't need 15.

“You shouldn’t have to go to a special disability vaccine clinic. It’s stigmatizing. You should be able to walk down the street to your community centre and get your vaccine.” Anne Borden King of @AgainstCures

We asked upon arrival and immediately received the exact accommodations my son needed.
Please don’t avoid booking at a mass vaccination site! I usually like to plan ahead, but the staff were prepared to deal with us in the moment.
Worried about visiting a mass-vaccination clinic w/ your loved one with a developmental disability? Know that you have a right to ask for accommodations. Let clinic staff know your needs by using the new Getting Ready For My Shot resource by @SurreyPlaceON and @HCARDD
