The Quiet Backbone of a Loud Idea: An Introduction to Hubert van Niekerk and Every Canadian Counts | By Aaron Di Blasi, PR Director, AT-Newswire | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op
https://at-newswire.com/hubert-van-niekerk-every-canadian-counts/

Here Aaron Di Blasi, PR director for AT Newswire and Publisher of Access Information News, introduces readers to Hubert van Niekerk, Executive Director of Every Canadian Counts (ECC), an all-volunteer Canadian coalition advocating for a publicly funded National Disability Insurance Plan (NDIP) modeled in concept on Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme. The introduction arrived through Cam Wells, longtime host of Handi-Link on CJAM 99.1 FM and member of the PWD Media Distribution Co-op, and traces Hubert's path from seventeen years in self-contained special-education classrooms, through eighteen years with the Ontario Association for Developmental Education, to his current role leading ECC's policy work in succession to founder Dr. William Cowie.

The piece previews ECC's upcoming presentation at the Global Leadership Exchange Canadian event in Ottawa, June 1 through 5, 2026, and locates ECC's specific NDIP proposal within Canada's broader disability-policy landscape, alongside organizations such as Disability Without Poverty, Inclusion Canada, the Council of Canadians with Disabilities, BCANDS, and DAWN Canada. Aaron takes no editorial position on whether Canada should adopt the NDIP, presenting Hubert instead as, in his own words, "the kind of advocate who is easy to overlook and difficult to dismiss."

Welcome, Techopolis: Why Top Tech Tidbits' Newest Sponsor Is One of the Most Important Indie Apple Studios in Access Tech Today | By Aaron Di Blasi, Publisher, Top Tech Tidbits | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op
https://toptechtidbits.com/top-tech-tidbits-welcomes-techopolis/

Here, Aaron Di Blasi, Publisher for Top Tech Tidbits, welcomes Techopolis to the publication's Sponsor family effective May 1, 2026, and walks 45,000+ weekly readers through why this two-person, founder-financed Apple-platform studio belongs in their inbox. Di Blasi traces a fourteen-year track record from Michael Doise, the legally blind iOS and macOS developer behind VO Starter, ACB Link, NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile, PocketBraille, and the WayAround mobile apps, through Techopolis's current product family, led by Perspective Intelligence, a private, on-device AI assistant for iPhone, iPad, and Mac built on Apple Foundation Models with Gemma fallback.

Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Taylor Arndt, born blind and running accessibility, AI, and operations since July 2024, gets her own credit: Doise writes the code, Arndt runs the company, together they ship. The piece anchors the sponsorship decision in a three-question test, does it serve our readers, does it advance access technology, does it respect community trust, and closes with the thesis that Techopolis is not an AI company that happens to care about accessibility, but an accessibility company that happens to ship some of the most sophisticated on-device AI on the App Store.

🎙️ Remarkable World Commentary Episode #88: Interview with Elizabeth Mohler, Ph.D. Researcher, Educator, Advocate, Scholar, Speaker | By Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op
https://donnajodhan.com/rwc-04-30-2026/

In this thoughtful episode of Remarkable World Commentary, Donna welcomes Dr. Elizabeth Mohler, newly minted PhD, longtime team member at BALANCE for Blind Adults, and a young leader Donna has known since her earliest days in the field, for a conversation that moves from family kitchen tables in 1980s Brockville to the methodology of critical discourse analysis. Born with congenital glaucoma, Elizabeth walks listeners through her family's 1987 move to Toronto for services, the formative years she spent at W. Ross MacDonald School for the Blind beginning in grade five (where she found community, learned to cook, and discovered swimming, track, trampoline, and choir), her path as the first student with sight loss at Wilfrid Laurier's Brantford campus, her Master of Science in Occupational Science at Western, and her PhD in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences on a four-year SSHRC doctoral fellowship, including the pilot work she contributed to make the SSHRC application itself accessible to JAWS users.

The second half digs into Elizabeth's intellectual and professional core. She takes Donna through her doctoral research on Ontario's Direct Funding program, a critical discourse analysis of 51 program documents that produced "chrono-normative citizenship," her own term for the way able-bodied notions of time are used to govern disabled people's care. She shares the dual perspective she carries as a blind adult who also helps support two non-verbal brothers with multiple diagnoses, and makes the case for a more holistic, less binary understanding of caregiving in a country where one in four Canadians is now a caregiver. She traces the origins of her 2016 Elsevier volume Creating a Culture of Accessibility in the Sciences (25 chapters, 200+ citations) and her years at BALANCE for Blind Adults, assistive technology instructor, community engagement lead, accreditation lead, social enterprise team member, and now pre-employment specialist running a five-week Zoom-based program for adults entering or re-entering the workforce. She closes with her hopes for a postdoc co-designing care research with young adults aged 18 to 35 living in long-term care, and a call to embed anti-ableism into the curriculum of every profession that touches disabled lives, teachers, social workers, nurses, doctors, speech-language pathologists.

🎙️ Remarkable World Commentary Episode #90: When Piggybacking Occurs | By Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op
https://donnajodhan.com/rwc-05-01-2026/

In this pointed and unflinching solo episode of Remarkable World Commentary, Donna opens the month of May with a warning to her listeners about what she calls the "piggybacking problem", companies that walk into the blind, vision-impaired, and broader disability community posing as saviors and accessibility experts while, in her words, being "wolves in sheep's clothing." She argues that these outfits arrive claiming the expertise needed to make services, websites, and information accessible, and claiming to understand what people with disabilities actually need, when in reality they have never walked a mile in the community's shoes, have no real grasp of which software works and which does not, and are simply piggybacking on the community's vulnerability to fill their own pockets.

Donna names one company in particular, Innosearch, and accuses it of doing exactly that under the banner of helping the community shop and travel more independently, only to leave the community "high and dry" once its own pockets were full. She makes clear that this is her opinion, acknowledges that Innosearch is far from the only company guilty of the pattern, and signs off with a wish for a great day and a promise to return shortly with her second episode of the month.

🎙️ Remarkable World Commentary Episode #89: Interview with Ben Akuoko, MSW, Advocate of Diversity & Inclusion, Public Speaker, Consultant, Entertainer, Community Connector | By Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op
https://donnajodhan.com/rwc-05-12-2026/

In this candid and deeply motivating episode of Remarkable World Commentary: Donna sits down with Bernard “Ben” Akuoko, social worker, disability advocate, and founder of The Brightside Scope, to trace his journey from a two-year-old diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa to one of Canada’s most thoughtful voices at the intersection of race, culture, and disability. Ben opens up about the moment in grade three when he realized the other kids could see the board and he could not, the years he spent pretending to read books just to earn classroom stars, and the disorienting friction of growing up in a Ghanaian household where disability was tied to religion and curses, while his school was already teaching him Braille and a white cane that his parents told him to put away the moment he came home. He shares the loneliness of his teenage and twenty-something years, the racial profiling and false theft accusations he has weathered as a Black man with low vision, and the cognitive-behavioral counseling that finally helped him stop hiding his disability, even from friends who had known him for ten years and still did not know what was going on with his eyes.

In the second half, Donna and Ben walk through his improbable academic climb from a D-grade elementary student who was almost held back, through first-year university academic probation, to a Bachelor of Social Work at Laurentian University, where he was the only Black male in his graduating class, and finally to a Master of Social Work at Renison University College at the University of Waterloo. They close on the work Ben is doing now through The Brightside Scope, his platform for showing what race, culture, and disability look like when they are finally talked about together, on his life as a boxing-training, marathon-running, Ghana-colors-on-his-cane advocate who refuses to victimize himself, and on the book he has already begun drafting, one Donna has promised to be among the first to read.

🎙️ Remarkable World Commentary Episode #87: Interview with Blake Steinecke, Product Marketer, Public Speaker, Inclusive AI, Blind Athlete | By Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op
https://donnajodhan.com/rwc-04-29-2026/

In this candid episode of Remarkable World Commentary, Donna sits down with Blake Steinecke, marketer, accessibility leader, and forward on the United States blind hockey team, to trace his journey from a sighted San Marcos, California teenager to a rising young voice in digital accessibility. Blake walks listeners through the summer before his junior year of high school, when slight blurriness in one eye turned into a Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy diagnosis and the loss of his central vision in both eyes; the steep, often vulnerable learning curve of assistive technology, VoiceOver, JAWS, Braille, a CCTV magnifier, while keeping pace academically; graduating high school above a 4.0 and earning his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration cm laude from Cal State San Marcos a semester early; and his path from software sales and contract accessibility testing into a growth role at an e-learning startup tackling the roughly 70% unemployment rate among working-age blind adults, where he helped drive a 200% increase in marketing qualified leads.

In the second half, Donna and Blake dig into the science of marketing accessibility, why companies must obsess over the problem before pitching a solution, why walking the walk beats talking the talk, and what scrappy, community-driven outreach to a blind audience actually looks like. Blake reflects on his San Diego County Board of Supervisors proclamation, his 2024 session on reaching the blind community through marketing at the world's largest assistive technology conference, and how the U.S. blind hockey community raised the bar for what he believed possible after his vision loss in a moment when he was trying to lower it. He closes with a preview of his new role as Digital Accessibility Lead at ServiceNow, life as a husband and father of a nine-month-old, and the philosophy he carries into every room, "seek to understand", which he tells Donna is the bridge from misunderstanding to the kind of connection, innovation, and solutions accessibility actually needs.

Recording: Journeys Through Rough Country: Bringing My Doctoral Research on Blind Employment in Corporate America to the MoxieCon 2026 Stage | By Dr. Kirk Adams | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op
https://drkirkadams.com/moxie-con-2026/

Here, Dr. Kirk Adams delivers the first major conference distillation of his Antioch University doctoral research into blind adults successfully employed at large American corporations at MoxieCon 2026. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with eleven such professionals, his study, Journeys Through Rough Country, identifies nine decisive factors spanning the individual (Braille, cane travel, assistive-technology mastery, a strong internal locus of control, family and school expectations) and the environment (accessibility of workplace tools and systems, accommodations, compensation, and the ongoing calculation of whether, when, and how to disclose a disability). The through-line of his findings: successfully employed blind adults have largely forged their own paths, and corporate inclusion of blind employees remains in its infancy.

Adams names a deliberate limitation up front, that his research focused on the 30% of working-age blind Americans who are in the workforce rather than the 70% who are not, and argues that MoxieCon 2026 is the right stage for the work because the fully virtual, fully captioned conference produced by Springboard Consulting is built for the ERG leaders, chief diversity officers, and accessibility practitioners who can actually move those numbers.

Welcome, Accessible Data: How Top Tech Tidbits' Newest Sponsor Is Showing the World What an Accessible Survey Actually Looks Like | By Aaron Di Blasi, Publisher, Top Tech Tidbits | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op
https://toptechtidbits.com/jerry-nicholson-accessible-surveys/

Top Tech Tidbits Publisher Aaron Di Blasi welcomes Accessible Data, the London-based, IDA-co-designed, UN-trusted survey platform led by co-founder and CEO Jerry Nicholson, to the Top Tech Tidbits Sponsor family. He walks readers through what makes their work different from every survey tool that has ever made you want to close the tab, who already trusts them with the data that shapes policy, and how Dr. Kirk Adams brought Jerry into the Top Tech Tidbits orbit.

Inside Accessible Surveys, the respondent, not the survey author, chooses how every question is presented: sign-language video per question, Easy Read mode, voice-note answers, and screen-reader-optimized markup, all targeting WCAG 2 AAA. The International Disability Alliance, UNICEF Innocenti, the United Nations, the New Zealand Ministry of Transport, and the Inter-American Development Bank are already using it for the research that shapes policy. Accessible Data's sponsorship of Top Tech Tidbits formally begins Monday, May 21, 2026, and helps keep this newsletter free to read for more than 46,000 readers each Thursday.

Scribe for TVIs: Free Document Accessibility for K-12 Educators | By Mike Calvo, CEO, Pneuma Solutions | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op
https://pneumasolutions.com/ScribeForTVIs

Here, Mike Calvo, co-founder and CEO of Pneuma Solutions and a blind Cuban-American entrepreneur who never graduated high school himself, announces the relaunch of Scribe for Education as Scribe for TVIs: a no-cost program built specifically for K-12 Teachers of the Visually Impaired. Framed as a 'for us, by us' response to a moment when funding is unpredictable and support systems are getting shaky, the program puts a fully accessible document-remediation pipeline directly in the hands of the educators most directly serving blind students through that uncertainty.

Upload any document and Scribe returns it in seconds as screen-reader-ready HTML, BRF braille (Grade 1, Grade 2, UEB, and Nemeth), large print, EPUB, DAISY (transferable to an NLS Talking Book Machine), or MP3 audio. The engine supports 140+ document languages, 30+ braille codes, math detection with MathML, and roughly 96% automated accuracy, with human remediation available on a 72-hour turnaround when a document needs a higher bar. Qualified K-12 TVIs with a valid school email can apply at https://pneumasolutions.com/ScribeForTVIs, annual re-verification keeps the program focused on the educators it was built for.
