Beza Gebrehana, Community Engagement Manager, and Kasey Bly, Program Navigator, recently attended the B’More Healthy Expo in Baltimore. They connected with more than 200 people who stopped by the SCI booth, including Jamar, a person supported who also happens to be a five-time Special Olympics medalist!

They provided information to unsupported and underserved community members, ensuring those who need us most can access resources and guidance. This is part of our commitment to expanding access and reducing barriers for every individual seeking information and support.

Visitors were invited to participate in our “What’s Important to You?” activity, during which we asked individuals to write down what’s most important to them. We loved connecting with these individuals to learn about what they value most. Scroll through the photos to take a look at their responses, and let us know – what’s important to you?

Today we recognize , a day to celebrate the independence, leadership, and contributions of wheelchair users, while also acknowledging the accessibility barriers many still face every day.

A recent story from NPR highlights how, even decades after accessibility laws were enacted, travelers who use wheelchairs continue to encounter challenges—from hotel rooms that aren’t truly accessible to reservations that don’t match what was promised.

International Wheelchair Day reminds us that accessibility isn’t just about compliance. It’s about dignity, inclusion, and the freedom to live, work, travel, and participate fully, without barriers.

Let’s keep advocating for spaces and experiences that truly work for everyone.

An NPR survey finds that people with disability still find hotels unaccommodating, even 35 years after passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
