Really wishing there was a good textbook reading app for someone with both visual and cognitive #disabilities.

I just started a new course at Colorado Christian University, and this week's reading is 7 chapters from a book called Introducing Christian Doctrine—which is pretty heavy stuff. I've been struggling just to get through the first chapter.

I tried reading in Word with JAWS, but quick navigation keys keep getting disabled, and adding comments isn’t very accessible. So I switched to the ePub version in Bookworm, which lets me add bookmarks, named bookmarks, and comments. That’s been a huge help.

For notes, I’m using Joplin, which works well for organizing thoughts in Markdown. And when I hit a sentence I don’t understand—like “propounded dogmatically” (what even is that?)—I just open Copilot in the browser and ask for a plain-language explanation.

It’s not perfect, but it’s working. I just wish there were tools designed with both cognitive load and screen reader accessibility in mind. Reading theology is hard enough without fighting the tech too.

(My degree is in computer science, but theology is part of the core curriculum.)

Think I’m going to take a moment to rest. I have an important meeting with someone from #DisabilityRightsTexas at 2:00 PM, and it’s just after 12:00 PM here. I'm feeling pretty exhausted. I'm working on getting support for #vocationalRehabilitation, which can be challenging since they often hesitate to assist those of us with multiple disabilities who can’t work full-time. Thankfully, #DRTX is stepping in to ensure I get the help I need.

@begrudging_recluse I plan on & have worn sandals for such visits & therefore not wearing socks at all, snow has been on the ground outside for at least one of said visits, because it's easier for me that way. #ChronicLife #MultipleDisabilities

Thinking of starting a personal #blog. I have the one on living with #MultipleDisabilities, but it's specific to that topic and not just for me. I use #WordPress for that blog, but now that I'm getting into the #fediverse, I'm curious if there are any platforms that are #accessible and federate. I know WordPress has a plugin now for this, but I can't afford a paid plan to be able to install plugins. Also curious what other #accessible and free #blogging platforms are out there. Any suggestions?

@autism101 probably temperature, with that humidity and barometric pressure because it's not just the autistic sensory need set, but rather also aides in sensation with my lingering damage from frostbite & my delicate skin from my hEDS, my spinal arthritis in it triggering my peripheral neuropathy with barometric pressure dives, and my early onset osteoarthritis from my hEDS, so if I get that set right then I can physically function my fullest and best.

So 65-85°F, under 10% relative humidity & moderate barometric pressure.

Well, I've gotten a lot of favorites for the toot about the #MultipleDisabilities group, so here it is. If you want to talk to other multiply #disabled people, mention and follow @multipledisabilities
If you want groups on other platforms and writing from a few people with multiple #disabilities, check out my blog at https://multabilities.wordpress.com.

Thinking about creating a Gup group for people with multiple #disabilities to talk and meet. Would anyone use it if I did? #disability #disabled #MultipleDisabilities @disability @actuallyautistic @mastoblind
