Testimonials

“I truly enjoy Mary’s workshops. She speaks and delivers her workshops with such passion and desire to educate others about ableism, and offers actionable steps as to how we can each do our part to create a more accessible world — from the physical world to the online world. As a facilitator, Mary allows a space to speak and share curiosites in a safe and brave space. She’s a skilled facilitator who offers a learning environment where participants are able to learn while opening up in discussion. Mary is direct but understanding, and her presentations are easy to follow, delivered at a pace that keeps participants engaged. I highly recommend Mary and her workshops with Upgrade Accessibility.”

“Mary's classes are so necessary for EVERYone, no matter where you stand in your understanding of accessibility. Meaning — that you can have no knowledge of what it would mean to integrate accessibility and disability activism into your everyday life and still find this class approachable AND, you can come in already having a pretty good idea about what it takes to be truly accessible and you would still find yourself learning new things. The space she creates feels both safe to learn in, and still a space for emergent conversations. I found myself unexpectedly validated in my own accessibility needs (that I'd previously felt embarrassed to share) and learning so much beyond what applied to me. Mary's work throughout this course played a huge role in informing the language I use in my book because of the ableism so deeply woven into the fabric of our daily vernacular. I owe Mary and this course a lot, and I highly recommend it to anyone no matter where you stand on the spectrum of disability.”
