We are the Disabled Students Group at UC Berkeley.

Check out this new article about the unique makerspace lab; the only one of its kind in the UC sytem. For more on the lab disabilitylab.berkeley.edu

The Disability Lab is a place where disabled and abled persons can come together and create “technical fluency.” Without that, Nakamura said, “you’re behind the curve.” diverseeducation.com/demographics/d…



This is a unique makerspace lab at UC Berkeley, hacking low cost disability solutions. Really one of its kind in the UC system. Check out the revamped website disabilitylab.Berkeley.edu

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the negative things society has to say about autistic kids -- but autism is nothing to be frightened of! Our new booklet “Start Here” gives parents the info they need about autism, services, and so much more. autisticadvocacy.org/book/start-her…

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives a great deal. Information about the virus is not accessible to many people in our community, but our plain language resources, in English and Spanish, are here to change that. Check them out here! autisticadvocacy.org/resources/covi…

#WhyIAdvocate Acceptance + Belonging Week It is the opportunity, that dream, to make a contribution, even if it's a pebble, that will lend to that huge ripple of change. Towards not just acceptance of autism but towards belonging all autistics and all people with disabilities.
