Can you please spend time captioning your videos? Please. The youtube generated captioning are not always accurate. Please assure your videos are accessible to all.
Yes, please. It's a little astounding that a video about disability rights doesn't have captioning. I was going to offer this video as extra credit to my students, but I can't now because there's no captioning.
It's really nice when you have a supportive family and network in place. Some of us living disabled are totally alone with no family or network in place, with no experience of what it's like having an advocate in our lives so we can learn how to advocate for ourselves. When your family tosses you out and doesn't care, this puts a really different spin on independence.
Thank you so much for making the ADA pass. This happened days after I turned one and made my educational and life success possible. Thank you fpr your courage, determination, and efforts. You transformed my life and the lives of so mamy others that day
After finishing this I genuinely don't understand how she could be denied the position to work as a teacher in NYC. If anything she fits the characterizes of what makes a teacher to a T! The 16 year old me would be honored to have a teacher like her!
a first rate video of lived experiences that helped lead the vanguard of the disability rights movement.Judy's struggles and successes while always profound offer us all a reminder that even in the darkest moments that civil rights and human rights both on the personal and social level are Always worth fighting for. There is always ground to be held and gained. I salute and admire Judy Heuman and the multitude of gifts she has bequeathed us all. Please share this video!!
It’s also worth remembering that aging in particular overlaps a lot with disability. Disability becomes much more prevalent as people age, and the percentage of the population that is elderly is huge. 2 in 5 people 65 and over have a disability. The large aging population is part of what makes the disability community much larger than people tend to assume.
I have relapsing remitting MS. Much of the time folks would not know I have a disability, other times I cannot walk. I see both sides and yes it is obvious. I know discrimination when I see it. Thank you for all you do, the tremendous amount of work does not go unnoticed.👍
The state of Maryland kicked people out of state disability services who were under supports only. I was one of those kicked out. My parents have worked in the disability field for a very long time. It took lawyers going through my state disability files to find out the state had lied to me and my parents. There was a letter saying that I was eligible for disability services. I finally started in my day program for adults with Autism in 2020. It took 12 years to get me in to the services I have needed. That is why I am a disability advocate! I don’t want anyone else to have to go through what I went through. There is still so much work to do to ensure that people with disabilities are treated equally.
I remember when they told me that i only belong in handicapped section on San Francisco Muni and i sat in the NORMAL Section and i got kicked off the bus one time for sitting in NORMAL section of the bus
It is still that way in TN and GA no ramps, no sidewalks. Segregation of children in public schools, check out GA GNET Lawsuit, write letters to the Governor Kemp let him know it is wrong. Segregation in Charter Schools of children in foster care system with disabilities. Write Governor Kemp tell him stop Georgia Connection Charger School from placing kids in special education classes and no regular education classes. It is the conversation in this Ted Talk. Children need your help to make a difference.
You know what really freaking sucks is that I am 15 and they are still segregating disabled children from non-disabled children which made a larger divide between disabled and non-disabled children as we weren't exposed in any way to disability and when we were, it was brief and avoided. The teachers almost enforced us to look at the disabled children with disgust and refuse to interact with them. But of course, I am disabled myself with an invisible disability but they didn't know that. Though they knew that with my brother and any time he misbehaved in school, they would call home and ask if he took his medication that morning. They would use that difference to further separate him from "normal" aka neurotypical kids even if they didn't place him in a disabed/special ed class.
I’m so glad and thankful that there is a movement for disabled people‘s rights I believe they were disabled person has rights and that was right should never be taken away no matter the person is disabled or nondisabled every person every child every man woman doesn’t matter can do anything they set their mind to
I have cerebral palsy I had went to regular classes but things were so difficult and I was very aware how different I was from everyone else. After college Im stuck at home because of debt but have a hard time finding a job that is accessible in the working conditions
We still need a LOT MORE WORK on Psych survivor/recovery in the USA. The stigma is still there, even if better. Folks with DID are being horribly picked on in the movies and the stigma is being reinforced. It's crippling and intense. We need people's support and help!!
Can you please caption this video beyond autocaptioning? I would like to show this to my disabled students, but cannot because it is not captioned properly.
Thank you so much! Because of all of you that helped to sign the ADA me and my friends have equal rights. There is still a lot of work to be done. Get rid of the marriage penalty for people on SSI and raise the cap on SSI. Disability rights are civil rights!
My husband had Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) Disease and is slowly being disabled. Yes, this is a family disease. NOTE: I am age 72 and remember a time when you had to "disclose" a chronic condition in your job interview-can you imagine!
They wouldn't make accommodations for me to travel at a camp I went to all my childhood, they kicked me out when I reached the age of travel campers only. They called it a liability, I wish my parents fought it more.
If you don't like ADA laws, simply more out of American... then you can discriminate. If you are in America and you don't comply with ADA law, you deserve felony charges.
Yes,I think so if it is about Disability right ,because we are still on the road n still moving ,in some other cases people with disability are being abuse of their rights and neglected,meaning the work is not yet done.
Listening to this video, ADA is evidently more conservative because the law seemed to only advance particular disabled populations, more like a middle class disabled class.
Thankfully countries like my United Kingdom are more understanding and supportive in recent years to those with disabilities. But sadly there is still too much stigma and prejudice against those with Autistic conditions/Asperger's syndrome for those who like to use this separate term. I know as an Autistic man that I sometimes get an involuntary internal harsh energy and an involuntary counterproductive obsessive energy at times but I do my best to channel it for good.
It would be so much better if we can contribute to CC. This auto generated version doesn't make sense. I want to pass along this to audience who speak Japanese.
Amazing! What constitutes as a disability? I have been suffering from essential tremors of the head for the past 4 years, it is difficult to work around people and maintain a relationship with my colleagues because I have something that is not understood greatly or even on the map of disability, amongst most people around the world. It disables me in so many ways, the fear of what people might think, how to tell people and just going to the shops with it scares me into not going a lot of the time. Does anyone have any advice. Thanks
That counts. The woman in this video has said that anxiety and depression are disabilities-so even the anxiety you feel regarding how you look due to the tremors counts as a disability (aside from tremors themselves hindering you).
The secret service investigates and prosecutes identity theft crimes and cyber crimes. My paperwork was forwarded to them from the DA in Maine to Handle those 2 crimes committed against me by my former spouse. Today, a secret service agent told me that if a person is your EX spouse (who obviously knows your SS #) and steals your identity by taking thousands of dollars in credit Card debt and then pays it off in a few years it’s not against the law. Also, No criminal charges will happen as long as you entrusted them with your ssn number. He also said using a computer at her work to do it (cyber crime) is not fraud at all. So to all the criminals out there...apparently here is s loophole in the law. The police, the DA, disability rights act all say that its a family matter not a criminal matter. The lesson learned is: don’t let anyone, even your wife, kids or caregivers have your SS # because your credit is free game. But, when I said to the agent “then I could do the same to her, my ex right now and not get criminal charges as long as I pay off the debt In a few years”, his response Was “I suggest you don’t do that”. Well WHY NOT? Nothing happens to the ex who does it. No crime right?! Such a joke.
My son has suspected ADHD, possibly could be autism, his doctor refuses to treat him until he's 5. My son turn 5 next year, I've pressed my doctor about this since he was 18 months old. My son is actually very well educated for his age, things he has ventured out on his own and done. My sons God Dad has Autism, and I have talked to him about my son, and he agrees on the evaluation of aspergers. Imagine people for a second raising a child who has issues communicating, at 4, eating certain foods, wearing certain clothing, certain noises are pretty much banned at this point in this household, you cannot punish him conventionally, you cannot even get him MINOR treatment and then they want to load him up with pills when he turns 5? The injustice that has been done to disabled people, whether they were born disabled or not and become disabled later in life. Working in a nursing home nurses yelled at disabled elderly a lot. I always just wanted to hug them, I wasn't allowed. It just makes me so sad and upset about how no president cares enough.
we still have a very long way to go. i tried to get help finding a new job after having a very bad knee injury at the job i was doing and nobody would hire me for anything even though i had job experience and education. i went to voc rehab and they tried to push me into a sna job which by then i physically could not do. when i tried to explain it i got booted from the program. what is the use of voc rehab if it doesn't work? i never wanted to be on disability. i would rahter have a job any day but here i am since 2007. i was in kindergarten when disabled got the right to an education. 1972. but the school i was in had nothing but a room with mentally disabled kids. my issues were physical, so i always had to figure things out myself.
I don't understand why so may viewers [of this video] are asking for 'captioning' on this video; the woman is speaking clearly and articulately. '''???'''
“Disability is a family you can join at any time”. Family 💝

Hey guys, know this is really late, and it is not super practical, but if you can find this video on the Ted website they usually have a transcript.
@@ashleigh6192 Thank you! That is helpful!

video: is about disabled rights
video: isn't captioned
It is now.
Pretty amazing it isn't captioned here (auto-captions are not sufficient). Real captions (in 17 languages!) available on official TED website.
It is captioned
ghastly that you don’t have closed captions on judy’s talk about accessibility. the video has been up for 6 years. may her memory be a blessing.
Carry the torch, advocate for more change, fairness
I love how this woman talks and the audience treats her with respect .
Have you seen a lot of TED talks where the speaker was not treated with respect?
the original point
your point

If you live long enough, you will personally experience disability. Accessibility helps everyone!
It is a stunning 26% of the American population.

Thank you. This message came at the right time.
RIP Judy. Your work has touched so many people
Thank you Judy for all your hard work. You will be missed.❤❤❤❤
You are my personal inspiration. Thank you so much.
Such a sweet soul Judith. RIP!

Six years later, we are still very far from disability rights for everyone... 😢 This is not Judy's fault; people just don't seem to care about us.

Use the official ted Ed website, it has captions in many different languages
I have used your story in my lessons, what great role model for my students.
Excellent and succinct presentation of the disability rights movement by highly regarded disability activist Judy Heumann.
I helped sign the American with disabilities act
Thank you so much! Because of all of you that helped to sign the ADA me and my friends have equal rights. There is still a lot of work to be done. Get rid of the marriage penalty for people on SSI and raise the cap on SSI. Disability rights are civil rights!
My husband had Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) Disease and is slowly being disabled. Yes, this is a family disease. NOTE: I am age 72 and remember a time when you had to "disclose" a chronic condition in your job interview-can you imagine!
great way to explain how à disability feels like to others that are not disabled ... à broken bone .
You are 1 of my heros
They wouldn't make accommodations for me to travel at a camp I went to all my childhood, they kicked me out when I reached the age of travel campers only. They called it a liability, I wish my parents fought it more.
Thank you for sharing your story
Tell 'em Judy!!!

One thing that really frustrates me about being intellectually disabled is how ruthlessly mocked we are by those that are supposed to help us.

I don't understand why so may viewers [of this video] are asking for 'captioning' on this video; the woman is speaking clearly and articulately. '''???'''
People who are deaf or hard of hearing read captions to understand what is being said in videos.
Captioning is for hearing impaired or deaf people.
Also if English is not your first language it’s helpful to have captions
Also helps those with sensory processing disorder to have captions
I need captions because of my disability.
