On your 'valuable member profile' for ASAE - have you listed your accommodations? HINT: Accommodations are a transaction not an identity

    I'm not sure the use of 'reasonable accommodation' is welcoming language, but have you responded to this section of the profile?
    There doesn't seem to be any other place for ASAE to learn about the disabled demographic in the overall membership.

    X-posting to Diversity Community

    For people with reading/learning, ND, medical, or physical disabilities - are you providing content to ASAE?

    If no - is there a reason that you hesitate or chose not to?

    This is what I provided in my profile: 

    I am a hard of hearing person that uses hearing aids and requires accurate usable captions.
    I also use screen readers for a multitude of reasons.

    ASAE Member Profile, last section, where they have data from members

    Profile identity questions:

    • Gender (uses male/female, non-binary, self-describe) -- in the LGBTQIA community and trans-inclusion we don't use female/male - woman, man
    • Are you of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin
    • Race 
    • Sexual Orientation
    • Will you be needing a Reasonable Accommodation? If so, please describe your need below so that we can better assist you:
