Hi everyone. I am looking for some advice. I am blind and am currently studying a degree in Inclusive education. I would like to do part of my placement abroad, preferably in Canada or the UK. Are there any disability or student groups that I could get in touch with or are there any tips or advice people would have? If this could be boosted I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

I've got 25 contact hours to get to at uni this week,, huge 6+ hours back to back with no breaks, all in different buildings.. Fatigue levels are awful today and being sat at a desk so long has made all my pain worse. I'm a week in and I already don't think I can manage it. Being a is hard work, especially without much support or people with shared experience around 🙃

🧵
"Accommodating University Students with ME/CFS" (2020)

I liked this. Has lots of ideas (though only some would likely be instigated in any one case).

Authors are from the US but many/most of the ideas would translate elsewhere

Also useful for other chronic illnesses

I spent spoons i didn't have today decorating the living room and tree in the kitchen. It was worth the pain. Hoping I sleep tonight as the last few nights I've been awake til the wee small hours the last few nights with eyes watering from the pain (I refuse to say crying as it's not an emotional reaction). I have that creeping end of semester stress.

Here are the more traditional advocacy things I plan on doing before the end of the month. Share yours and feel free to join me on the first one!
-Write to the Justice Department about patients being denied care for rare/orphan conditions
-Write to the state secretary of higher education about ableism issues at one of my previous colleges
