Cognitive load refers to how much working memory or short-term memory someone is using at a time. Minimizing the cognitive load it takes to use your site makes it more accessible for people with cognitive disabilities. Limit what you're asking users to remember to use your site.

Been masking up more often. Mostly due to having a disability & working near vulnerable patients. Also: saw the CXRs below: complete whiteout from influenza A, H5N1. I'm careful but not fearful right now, cases are mostly mild & mostly not person-to-person. H/t NEJM 2024, Dec 24

When submitted by researchers, GI presentations are equally divided F:M. When invited or industry supported, women are underrepresented. Compare the center chart to the other 2. UEG and DSW are major conferences presenting cutting edge findings on gastroenterology.

Graphic showing 3 types of presentations as pie charts showing women and men presenters. Invited (left chart) and industry supported (right chart) had 33% & 21% women. When researchers submitted their research, 50% of talks were by women.

At the risk of responding to a potentially rhetorical question, I have a thought. Your guide dog is good because her motivation is to meet your expectations. Can you communicate the rules of the change you want, and rely on her already-present motivation?

Ableism looks like building a world that doesn’t consider people with disabilities, then blaming them for not fitting in. It's the constant belittling, the exclusion, the 'inspiration' label slapped on them for existing, and the refusal to make basic accommodations because it’s 'too much effort.

The disability community is the the largest minority group in the country and often the most ignored. It’s also the only minority group you can join at any time. You can become disabled and most likely will with age. To care about the disability community is to care about your inevitable future.

When someone with a #Disability shares a struggle, Say this: "What is that like for you?" Not that: "I struggle with that too. One time, I [insert something that is not even close]." Totally get that you are trying to relate, but that invalidates the person's experience. #StopBeingAwkward
