Here's our collaborative access statement, which ends up looking like a poem! I've collected the "access is" sentences in a first "stanza" and then each following one is taken from one index card (and when I couldn't read handwriting, I guessed). 

Access Is

Access is a creative, ongoing process.

Access is comfort.

Access is free the body, free the mind.

Access is a dynamic process.

Access is appreciation of diversity.

Access is a process and a tool.

Access is inclusion.

Access is a feeling of unity across all parts of life.

Access is not feeling like your needs make you different.

Access is a creative, ongoing process.

Access happens when no one is forgotten.

One of my favorite parts of the CCW partnership has been eating lunch in the dining center with the Friday group. This is a space where there is a structured acivity (eating), but mostly there is a lot of time to chat. This is not always the case in short-term, mixed-ability partnerships since a lot of times these center around a group of volunteers leading activities for a group of participants. These lunches have been a great opportunity to get to know the CCW artists/teaching artist as people, and we all enjoy it and I think have formed some good bonds.

Some students at Bryn Mawr recently compiled stories from many students who have had negative experiences with the Counseling Center, Dean's Office, and Campus Safety, mostly in relation to mental health.  I thought that you all would find this interesting, especially in relation to the discussions we have had in class about academia and mental health/disability.

The tongue is a muscle, contracting and moving as one unit with two underlying motors. It tastes, not like the whiplike motion of a snake, but with the visceral realness of it’s own surface. It makes sour and sweet and bitter and salty and it makes memories that link themselves with flavors or with disgust or with ice cream melting in your hands on a hot boardwalk.

Where little buds work together to spread and change what we experience, to shape how our brains light up and glow, to deliver the message that poison is bitter and that sugar cubs are sweet. 

Working with CCW artists is truly a valuable experience.

I was a little anxious before going to CCW for the very first time. It was my first time working with people with intellectual disabilities and I really don’t know what will I encounter and what to expect. The super warm welcome I had that day at CCW made things much easier than what I thought before I was there. The first thing that I realized at CCW is that I don’t want to treat the CCW artists as “child”. The CCW artists are all adults, some much older than me, and they should be treat as “adults” and they can make their own decisions.   

Strategies for change come from a variety of places.
