At this years Cure SMA conference, Drea and I got to try out the new accessible wheelchair seating from on Delta. With this new Delta flight product prototype, flying is about to get a whole lot easier for wheelchair users. I spoke to one of the engineers and a representative of delta who gave me the breakdown on how it works. It literally takes less than 90 seconds to convert this area so that a wheelchair user can stay in their wheelchair when boarding a delta flight so that means no more aisle chair transfers. They also said that this design is expected to be approved by the Federal Aviation Administration by the end of this year and I can’t wait. The prototype you see in this video has since been updated with several adjustments with feedback from the wheelchair community. On another great note, they also showed me a video of accessible restrooms being installed and coming very soon on planes as well. We are in some very exciting times and I’m grateful to be alive to witness it. Thank you Delta Air Lines for leading the charge in equity and inclusion and for hearing our voices! Get ready family, we are on board! ✈️ #wheelchairtravel #wheelchairuser #wheelchairlife #wheelchair #airline #delta #curesma #curesmaconference2024 #travelcouple #travel #accessibletravel

I can’t lift my arms anymore, so this is great!!! In a world driven by technology, the power to connect, create, and innovate knows no bounds. Yet, amid this rapid digital evolution, it’s essential to recognize the profound impact inclusive technology has on our society, particularly for individuals with disabilities. As we navigate this digital era, it’s crucial for companies to embrace accessibility as a core principle, ensuring that their products & services are usable by all, regardless of ability. From screen readers & voice commands to adaptive controllers and sensory-friendly interfaces, inclusive technology opens doors of opportunity, empowerment, & independence for millions around the globe. The beauty of inclusive technology lies in its ability to create a sense of belonging & participation. It’s not just about meeting compliance standards; it’s about recognizing the diverse needs of users & striving to create solutions that enhance their quality of life. Whether it’s being able to control the TV screen with your cellphone via Bluetooth or implementing captioning and sign language interpretation for video content, every effort towards inclusivity is a step towards a more equitable & compassionate world. Moreover, inclusive technology isn’t just a moral imperative; it’s also a smart business decision. By tapping into the vast market of individuals with disabilities, companies can unlock a wealth of untapped potential & drive innovation through diverse perspectives. Accessibility isn’t a hindrance; it’s a catalyst for creativity and ingenuity. As we celebrate the strides made in inclusive technology, let’s also acknowledge the work that lies ahead. We must continue to advocate for universal design principles, encourage collaboration between tech innovators and disability advocates, & prioritize accessibility in every stage of product development. So let’s ensure that no one is left behind. Together, let’s build a future where inclusive technology isn’t just a feature—it’s the standard. Thank you JetBlue for making this a standard in your fleet of airlines. #inclusive #technology #disabilityadvocate #wheelchair #wheelchairlife #inclusivity #motivationalspeaker

I love this new renovated park they built by our house because it has all these cool wheelchair accessible workout stations all around! Even though I couldn’t lift it up, I still gave it a shot and it did help with maintaining my grip by holding onto the handle bars! My wife Drea is my favorite workout partner! I’m grateful that they renovated it to be inclusive for all people! They even have a ninja warrior course which I thought was super cool! Thank City of Coral Springs for being inclusive! P.S. “You got it dad!” That’s what did it for me! 💪🏽 #keynotespeaker #motivationalspeaker #wheelchair #wheelchairlife #inclusion #accessible #accessibility
