Empowering people with disabilities to live fulfilling lives.

10/07/2026

A hiring process can move faster and still miss the right person.

When candidates speak to a camera without anyone there to listen, clarify or ask a follow-up question, employers may lose the context that reveals their talent. For people with disabilities, an inflexible interview process can become a barrier before their qualifications receive fair consideration.

In our latest article, we explore what happens when hiring becomes a one-way conversation—and why technology should be the scribe, not the judge.

No one should be denied a job because an employer sees their disability before their talent. No one should be denied an education because the tools and support they need are out of reach. And no one should be left out of community life because accessible transportation or communication support isn’t available. That’s the message we’re amplifying during DeafBlind Access and Opportunity Week, and we want you to raise your voice with us.

You can support this effort by giving $10. Your donation will help us create social media campaigns that raise awareness of the barriers DeafBlind Georgians face and the access needed to participate fully in employment, education and community life. In the donation form’s note section, share one reason access and opportunity matter to you. We’ll feature supporters’ reasons on social media to carry this message further.

⚡ Power Up Monday

Interested in a role or organization? Ask someone who works there for a brief informational interview. A conversation can help you understand what the work involves and which skills matter most.

Keep the request simple: “Could I ask you a few questions about your work in a 15-minute conversation?” Ask what a typical week looks like, what skills they use most, and what they wish they had known when starting. Thank them afterward, then use what you learned to plan your next step.

Learn about the opportunity. Build a connection. Move forward with purpose.

⚡ Power Up Monday

Your personal brand is shaped by how consistently you show up. Regularly sharing your skills, experience, values and goals helps people understand what you bring to the table and can open the door to professional opportunities.

A personal content calendar can help you plan what to share, stay on track and keep your message consistent. Tools such as Buffer or Zoho Social can help you schedule and manage posts, while Canva can help you design and organize content in advance.

Show up with intention, stay visible and make an impact.

09/17/2026

Join us next Tuesday, Sept. 22, from 7-8 p.m. ET for a free virtual Power Moves session on navigating the workplace accommodations process with confidence. Presented by the Southeast ADA Center, this session will equip people with disabilities to understand their rights, communicate workplace barriers and collaborate on effective accommodations. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain the confidence and skills needed to advocate for the accommodations and support you need to succeed at work.

Apple's newly unveiled iPhone Duo demonstrates how mainstream technology can create more options for accessibility.

When opened, its 7.6-inch display provides additional space for features such as Larger Text, Zoom, Magnifier, and captions. The larger screen may help some people with low vision view content more comfortably and may make captions easier to follow for DeafBlind people and others who rely on captions during videos, calls, and other digital interactions.

Accessibility needs vary from person to person, but innovations like this can give people with disabilities more flexibility in how they access information, communicate, and engage with the world around them.

Reagan has always believed that people with disabilities can achieve great things when their potential is recognized and supported. Watching her cousin grow up, she saw how hope, determination, and talent could shine brighter than any challenge. He is DeafBlind and uses a wheelchair, but he has never allowed the barriers he has faced to stop him from pursuing his goals. His journey showed her that disability may shape someone’s experiences, but it does not determine what they can accomplish.

That belief is why Reagan proudly supports Disability Resource Advisors and our work to provide people with disabilities with the resources and opportunities they need to lead, achieve, and contribute.

Today, Reagan is showing exactly where she stands by wearing our “Show Them Your Limit Is Excellence” T-shirt. You can stand with her and amplify this powerful message: Disability does not limit potential. Excellence is the standard.
