Equipping organizations with the knowledge and skills to promote full inclusion of people with disabilities

16/10/2026

Disability organizations and service animal groups do important work on very tight budgets. Have you thought about an online charity auction? We help organizations run them and teach you how to make them pay off. You start with a free account and your own auction website, and a consultant helps you plan the timing and the promotion. Your supporters can bid from their phones. It is a good fit for year-end giving. It is free to set up and see whether it fits.

Today is White Cane Safety Day. Since 1964, October 15 has been set aside to recognize the white cane as a tool of independence. This morning I am in downtown Tampa with the National Federation of the Blind of Tampa Bay, crossing an intersection to see who yields. Wherever you are today, take one minute to tell someone that yielding to a white cane or a guide dog is the law. It is a small thing that keeps people safe.

Here is a five-minute training you can give your staff today. When you see a white cane or a guide dog at a crosswalk, stop and stay behind the line. Do not honk and do not wave the person across. That is the law, and it is basic respect. Tomorrow is White Cane Safety Day. If you are in Tampa, join us from 9 to 11 a.m. at N. Ashley Drive and W. Cass Street.

You cannot hire someone who cannot get to the interview. October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and it shares the calendar with White Cane Safety Day for a reason. Safe, independent travel is often the first requirement for getting to a job at all. A person can have every qualification on paper and still be stopped by an intersection where drivers do not yield. If your workplace is talking about inclusive hiring this month, talk about the trip to work too.

Does your team know what to do when a blind person steps into a crosswalk? Most people do not, and nobody ever told them. This Thursday, October 15, is White Cane Safety Day. The National Federation of the Blind of Tampa Bay will be at N. Ashley Drive and W. Cass Street in downtown Tampa from 9 to 11 a.m. Send two people from your organization. They will come back with something worth sharing. It only takes two hours.

A doctor once told my mother to put me in an institution. I was a little girl, and I was legally blind. She said no and raised me at home. That decision is why I followed Texas v. Kennedy so closely. The case closed on September 23, and the rules that backed up community living were weakened. The right itself still stands. So now what? Stay connected to your advocacy groups. Watch for new bills. When they ask you to act, act. This is my last update. It is not my last word on our rights.

Looking for something your organization can do for disability awareness this month? It does not have to be complicated. Host a lunch-and-learn on accommodations. Share real stories from people with disabilities in your community. Or start with the simplest one. Teach your people that yielding to a white cane or a guide dog is the law. October 15 is White Cane Safety Day, and I wrote a page with ideas and the details of our Tampa event.

What does the law say when a blind person steps into a crosswalk? It says drivers yield. What happens in real life is not always the same. On Thursday, October 15, the National Federation of the Blind of Tampa Bay will be at N. Ashley Drive and W. Cass Street in downtown Tampa from 9 to 11 a.m. to show the difference. If you lead a church, a workplace, or a community group, bring a few people and stand with us. Inclusion starts with showing up.

Texas v. Kennedy is closed. On September 23, 2026, the judge issued his final ruling and approved an order that removes the community integration provisions from the 2024 Section 504 rule. That is a real loss. Those provisions spelled out that health and human services programs should support people with disabilities in their own communities. But here is what did not change. Section 504 is still the law. The ADA is still the law. The Olmstead decision still stands, and so does the integration mandate. My final update on the case is posted.

The real measure of digital accessibility is simple: can someone actually use what you built, not just land on it.
