I really enjoyed the format of your project. Some text to contextualize the history of disability along with a sketch of the change that was implemented was really cool to see. Something I still find unbelievable is the fact that Judy Heumann was denied her teaching license because her wheelchair was determined to be a fire hazard. Also, it is surprising how long it took for the Americans with DIsabilities Act to come about, and this act definitely changed accessibility for people with disabilities.

Luka, I really loved your midterm project timeline and I’m so excited to see how your final project builds off of it! I thought the way you organized everything made it super easy to follow,and I honestly learned a lot from it. I also loved the illustrations you included they added such a nice touch and made everything feel more engaging and thoughtful.
