Kethlyn G gave an insightful talk on the challenges people with disabilities face and spoke about how it is not the person with a disability that is the issue, it is the lack of resources available for the person that is. Furthermore, she also highlighted the importance of accessibility, how accessibility is about options, and how education about people with disabilities should start from us. Kethlyn G grew up in a world that overwhelmed her senses but was always told to “adjust”. She struggled with focus and was told she had ADHD. Her sensorial sensitivities made it difficult for her to succeed in an environment that wasn’t built for her. Now, as an educator, she realizes the problem was never her but how spaces were built. With experience working with at-risk youths and persons with disabilities, and being in a relationship with someone with a physical disability, she has seen how exclusion is designed into our systems, especially in education. Through her work, she challenges how we think about inclusion, advocating for independence over assistance. Her presentation, The Hidden Barriers You Don’t See—But We Do, invites audiences to rethink accessibility for real change.
