University course on disability history

From a post to The Facebook page of the Society for the Study of Disability in the Middle Ages https://www.facebook.com/groups/1612674839018091/

Focused on American disability history,
but quite a syllabus/resource. "Disability Histories"

From the course Website:

“You might wonder why people should care about disability history if they do not have
disabilities themselves. The truth is that over time, disability will affect the lives of most Americans.”
-An op-ed written by 12th graders,
The New York Times (5 September 2018)
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This seminar introduces students to the historical variability of disability and the lived experiences of disabled people to offer new interpretations
of classic themes in American history, including gender, race, class, and activism. We will explore disability as a cultural and historical phenomenon
that is tied to broader cultural attitudes, such as immigration, progress, and labor. This course is for PhD students to obtain historiographical knowledge
for their examination fields and for upper-level undergraduates and MA students to obtain insight the representation and changing meanings of disability
in society.

Virtual Reality is Helping Babies Breathe

Kes: This focuses on one of the biggest issues in developing apps and programs related to healthcare, and disability for that matter: you need to be aware that the ppl you want to get it to may not have the best technology, and/or you want a technology that can deliver your product across a variety of consumers. This is why I think Alexa has such huge potential for healthcare and services for PWD: an Echo Dot cost about $25, and Alexa can be installed on phone, laptops, PCs, and the fact that all skills go through Amazon gives them a centralized location for discoverability..
