I've used technology to keep connected, especially during the pandemic. And, Read how the pandemic made things more accessible for me to communicate with the community Things. I learned that I would keep doing something that I think can still be done better. Technology has made things more accessible for me. How I believe technology will help the disability community organize in the future.
