This post originally appeared onDisabled people have a right to privacy, don’t we? So why is social media inundated with stories, pictures, and videos of disabled people in vulnerable or private moments – often shared without their consent? How can we put an end to this in a culture that thrives on attention gained oversharing? And what is the difference between meaningful or educational disability-related content and content that exploits its subject for the sake of virality. We discuss in this episode.

Okay, so we know we always say that our episodes are something special, but this truly is. This is our first sponsored episode (wooooo!) and it’s about something that is extremely important for every disabled person in the United States to know about. We’re going to be talking finances, ABLE accounts, and ABLEnow.
Per the ABLE National Resource Center:
ABLE Accounts, which are tax-advantaged savings accounts for individuals with disabilities and their families, were created as a result of the passage of the Stephen Beck Jr., Achieving a Better Life Experience Act of 2014 or better known as the ABLE Act. The beneficiary of the account is the account owner, and income earned by the accounts will not be taxed. Contributions to the account, which can be made by any person (the account beneficiary, family and friends), must be made using post-taxed dollars and will not be tax deductible for purposes of federal taxes, however some states may allow for state income tax deductions for contribution made to an ABLE account.
Essentially, they’re a super nifty financial product that many Americans with disabilities can use to save money. Money in your ABLE account allows you to have over $2,000 in assets if you’re on SSI or other types of government assistance.
Per ABLEnow‘s website:
ABLEnow accounts help individuals with disabilities save money to pay for qualified expenses, without being taxed on the earnings – and in most cases, without losing eligibility for certain means-tested benefit programs.
ABLEnow is Virginia’s implementation of the ABLE Act. And fret not, we can hear you from all the way through the internet: “But I don’t live in Virginia!” That’s okay. Opening an ABLEnow account does not require Virginia residency.
ABLEnow accounts can also be a great option, even if you do not receive any government assistance or benefits. We talk about all of that in this incredible episode.
ABLEnow is giving away $500 in a brand new or existing ABLEnow account! Yeah, you read that right. All you have to do is go to www.able-now.com/stall to see if you’re eligible and to enter!

This post originally appeared onWe were so determined to put out this episode, and now that it’s here, we can’t wait for you to listen! In June, we had the opportunity to be the keynote speakers at the Virginia Department of Education’s I’m Determined Summit. It was such an awesome experience, but don’t just take our word for it…listen in to our interviews with two of the Youth Leaders from the event, Jonathan Brooks and Emily LeSueur! We talked about how I’m Determined empowers young people with disabilities to advocate for themselves as they transition from high school to college. And we also talked about the importance of parents giving their kids the opportunity to spread their wings and be independent. A transcript for this episode can be found here.
