I want to start off with Pineapple Support. This is an organization that has a long waitlist globally, but they continue to prioritize the care and needs of their community in an affirming way. They are putting in countless hours trying to build free and discounted support groups and webinars, that are accessible for those waiting to get into individual therapy.

TLDR: Surveys are asking for volunteers' feedback on disability access.

I am working on further continuing education, CE, trainings within the disability series now that my training on Americans' with Disability Act, ADA, and employment is complete (link in comments).

I will continually be updating the surveys on this website to reflect the different projects that I am working on, however these two on ADA and education and ADA and community access are the next ones that I am tackling and I would like it to be more representative of community thoughts and feelings.

The website, WIX is not always accessible for screen readers. If anyone who is Blind or has low vision is interested in filling out the survey they can email me for a more accessible copy:
