How Huntsville music venues make concerts more awesome for fans with disabilities

July 17, 2025 | Source: AL.com

Instead of buying each other gifts for birthdays and Christmas, Elianna Stanners and her dad Russell Stanners often give each other concert tickets. Elianna and Russell, who both reside in the Huntsville area, go to a ton of shows together, seeing artists like Slash, Old Crow Medicine Show and Drive-By Truckers. They love sharing the electric experience only great live music can give you. “It’s good to listen to a recording,” Elianna, a college student in her early 20s, says. “But you can really feel more of the emotion and the story that artist is trying to tell when you see it live.”…

Famous Musician Gives Major Gift To Small Milwaukee Music Venue

An independent Milwaukee music venue’s plan to make its building more accessible for people with disabilities got a boost this week with an unexpected donation from musician Jack White. Cactus Club, located in the city’s Bay View neighborhood, has been around since 1958. The building in is nearly 140 years old. Cactus Club owner Kelsey Kaufmann purchased the venue, 2494 S. Wentworth Ave., in 2020. And while the building’s age means it had a “legacy” exception to the Americans with Disabilities Act according to the club, one of Kaufmann’s first goals after she bought the space was to make it more accessible for everyone…

Its mission is rooted in empowering individuals with disabilities to live independently, not only by offering resources, but by meeting people where they are in their journey…

Labor Department Moves to End Disability Hiring Goal for Federal Contractors

July 17, 2025 | Source: Mother Jones

Back in 2013, the Obama administration introduced a low-profile but deeply impactful rule for federal contractors: to remain compliant with Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, the legions of firms contracting with the federal government would have to work towards a staff that was at least 7 percent disabled. That target, which went into effect in March 2014, was designed to address hiring disparities and biases that factored into disabled people’s disproportionate unemployment rate. For more than a decade, those Obama-era targets led to more hiring of disabled employees, countering wage and employment gaps and bringing disabled workers more economic independence…

Porterville’s Steve Taylor is becoming the go-to guy on a national level when it comes to developing accessibility policy for those with disabilities and to meet the requirements of the American Disabilities Act. Taylor has been asked to develop the accessibility policy for Starbucks. Taylor admitted it wasn’t something he expected, describing it as “the wildest thing.

Civil rights work is slowing as Trump dismantles the Education Department, agency data shows

July 18, 2025 | Source: The Associated Press

The Trump administration insists it hasn’t wavered in its duty to protect the civil rights of America’s children even as it dismantles the Education Department. Yet its own data shows the agency has resolved far fewer civil rights cases than in past years despite families filing more complaints. The Education Department’s civil rights branch lost nearly half its staff amid mass layoffs in March, raising questions about its ability to address a deep backlog of complaints from students alleging discrimination based on disability, sex or race…

Navigating “Passing” As Hearing: My Experience As a Deaf Individual

July 18, 2025 | Source: American Bar Association

I’m a deaf individual. I have profound deafness in my left ear and severe hearing loss in my right. I use a cochlear implant and hearing aid. They help, but what I hear is fundamentally electronic and not equivalent to hearing organically. Because I use hearing devices, speak clearly, and have strong speechreading skills, people often assume I’m hearing or mildly hard of hearing. I’ve been told, “But you don’t seem deaf.” This reflects a common misconception that deafness looks or presents a certain way —that all deaf people are unable to hear or speak and communicate only in American Sign Language (ASL).

A new federal report says Amtrak is losing out on a market of disabled people — who make up at least one out of seven Americans — because it’s done a poor job of listening to their complaints. The report cites problems from difficulty boarding if the passenger uses a wheelchair, to being blocked from bathrooms and cafe cars, to unclear signage in stations and on trains. The report, from Amtrak’s Office of Inspector General, says the company lacks an “overarching strategy” to improve service to disabled customers…

Churches, Don’t ‘Accommodate’ Disability. Plan for It.

July 18, 2025 | Source: Christianity Today

I didn’t grow up in church. But even as an undiagnosed autistic child raised Hindu in the South, I was aware of church culture. I even knew a few popular hymns. Yet I found the idea of church far more confusing than my own family’s religious practices. At the very least, I was certain it would require a level of decoding I couldn’t yet master. I became a Christian in my early 20s, but even from the inside, the church still confused me. Now, as a parent to autistic children, I find myself helping my children decode some of the same rules I still struggle with…

Federal officials say they will hold off on a plan to fast-track changes to a key disability rights law amid substantial pushback. The U.S. Department of Energy is pumping the brakes on an effort to rescind requirements under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act that outline what standards newly constructed and altered buildings must meet in order to be considered accessible. The agency had quietly announced its intention to make the change in May, issuing what’s known as a “direct final rule.” At the time, the Energy Department said that the update would take effect July 15 unless “significant adverse comments” were received within weeks…

What Medicaid Cuts Mean For Americans, Part II

July 23, 2025 | Source: NPR

Medicaid is a cornerstone of the American health care system. The program provides insurance to more than 70 million low-income people and people with disabilities. Now, addiction experts and nursing home leaders are sounding the alarm over cuts in President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill. When the cuts occur, Medicaid will lose $1 trillion over the next 10 years and over 11 million Americans will become uninsured by 2034. That’s according to estimates by The Congressional Budget Office. So, what do these cuts mean for some of the most vulnerable Americans?…

One of the first things to greet visitors at the V&A’s new Design and Disability exhibition is a striking blue bench by artist Finnegan Shannon titled, Do You Want Us Here Or Not? This exhibit is a response to the often inadequate seating in museums, which not only acts as a barrier to accessibility for many people, but is more widely symptomatic of ableist approaches to museum and exhibition design. In this case, the invitation to “Please sit here!” sets the tone for the whole exhibition, which also includes a large sensory map of the layout (located at wheelchair level), a tactile map, and QR codes that link to audio description for blind and partially sighted visitors, and also British Sign Language interpretation…
