It Really Grinds My Gears
This week we drop the new Studio 4 Song and our new phone number for the pod +1-908-349-1480 — we also touch on topics such as our blind dreams, Dan’s part banger, the latest airport fiasco, eating different nuts, flight upgrades and turbulence, going to the bathroom blind, Dan’s last trip at the airport, fan letters in Braille, voicemails from our listeners, preferring simple music and more awesome random content. One Love and Keep Pushing

Big thank you to our latest sponsor inclusiveweb.co How many websites do you know that suck at being accessible to all of us in the bad eye community? Most. It's frustrating. So many websites completely do not work for people that are blind. That's right, and not only blind people - chances are that if you have a website or e-commerce store, it probably doesn't work for a person with a disability. That is so wrong- But how do they make it accessible? They need to contact our newest sponsor inclusiveweb.co Inclusive Web makes it easy for any web or e-commerce site to become accessible for everyone. They have affordable solutions for any size business - In fact, if you are unsure if your website is accessible, Inclusive Web will test it for free.

Keep Pushing Adaptive Skatepark ► https://fundrazr.com/f1zZbe?ref=ab_6VqfaF2Sm6X6VqfaF2Sm6X
Keep Pushing Inc was founded by Dan Mancina, an accomplished skateboarder who happens to be blind. Dan also holds a Master's degree in Vision Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT), which helps to teach adaptive life skills to those dealing with vision loss. Keep Pushing is a non-profit that combines Dan's two passions by introducing the blind/visually impaired (VI) community to the inclusive culture of skateboarding. Through his own journey with vision loss, Dan has found the lack of accessibility in current skateparks.
The goal of his foundation is to build the first fully adaptive skatepark and to host skateboard workshops for the blind and VI using what he has learned on the skateboard and through his VRT training. Dan has teamed up with an experienced skatepark design company, New Line. Using New Line's design expertise and Dan's knowledge of adaptive skating to create the safest and most accessible skate park ever!
Using adaptive methods, such as increasing the size of obstacles, adding contrast to obstacles, tactile ground, auditory cues for echolocation, 3-D models, and a spacious layout. Once the facility is built Dan plans to host monthly skate workshops and skateboard lessons for local youth/adults who are blind and VI, annual adaptive contests to help push for skateboarding the Paralympics, as well as use park adaptations to influence future public skateparks.
