Braille Literacy Month is a great time to explore the Split Braille feature in JAWS. This feature allows Braille display users to split their display into two regions, making it easier to compare or track content from different locations at once.
Learn how it works and when to use it in our YouTube playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk-npwu4WEBRsJMiElYC9cMmI7NtlNpIT&si=ZoZ2vP1Ys16YiuvU

🌟 Introduction Post 🌟
Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Lanie Molinar Carmelo (she/her), and I'm thrilled to join the amazing community here on allovertheplace.ca! Here's a little about me:
🧑💻 Who I Am
- Conservative #Christian woman and #Aroace
- Totally #blind and #ActuallyAutistic, living with multiple #chronicIllnesses
- Advocate for #DisabilityRights, passionate about creating a more inclusive world 🌍
I'm a #UsabilityTester and an aspiring #AccessibilityConsultant, working to make technology better for everyone, especially those of us with disabilities. I'm most passionate about helping those with multiple disabilities, as it's an area that doesn't get enough attention.
🐾 Meet Squeaker!
I'm also the proud human to my 10-year-old Miniature Pinscher, Squeaker, who is the best little companion anyone could ask for. 🐕💖 He drives me nuts sometimes, but I don't know what I'd do without him. My profile picture features me with Squeaker, and my header shows him wrapped in a blanket with just his adorable face peeking out!
📚 What I’m Studying
I'm currently learning:
- Digital Accessibility through the BIT Accessibility Analyst Course
- Literary Braille Proofreading via the NLS
- Programming on platforms like freeCodeCamp and Codecademy
My goal is to develop accessible apps that empower people with disabilities, contribute to open-source projects that promote inclusion, and just do what I can to make the world more accessible.
💡 What I Do
I run or co-lead several online support groups for people with multiple disabilities. These groups provide safe spaces to connect, share resources, and talk with others who "get it." You can find them here:
- Facebook: Multiple Disabilities Peer to Peer Support Group
- Discord/Mailing List: MultAbilities
- Clubhouse: People with Multiple Disabilities
Right now, my focus is on growing these groups and making connections with others who are passionate about supporting multiply disabled individuals. If you're interested in joining or collaborating, feel free to reach out or check out my website at laniecarmelo.tech, where you'll find links to all the groups!
🎮📖🍴 My Interests
When I’m not advocating or studying, you can find me:
- Exploring #technology and experimenting with self-hosting on my Raspberry Pi 🖥️
- Reading #SciFi, #Fantasy, #Mystery, and some nonfiction 📚
- Playing #AccessibleGaming titles like incremental games, puzzles, RPGs, roguelikes, and MUDs 🎮
- Enjoying delicious food—especially #chocolate, #seafood, #milk, and #cheese 🍫🧀
I also love swimming 🏊♀️ when my health allows it.
🛠️ My Goals
One day, I hope to found a nonprofit organization to support multiply disabled individuals. The nonprofit would:
- Provide peer support groups
- Help fund assistive technology
- Advocate for education and employment opportunities
- Collaborate with disability-focused organizations to improve accessibility
For now, I'm focused on running my support groups and building connections that could help make this dream a reality. If you have ideas or resources—or just want to chat—let me know! 🤝
🤝 Let’s Connect!
I’m always happy to chat about:
- Accessibility in #tech or tech in general
- Disability advocacy
- Programming (#HTML, #JavaScript)
- Braille
- Books
- Or just life in general!
Feel free to follow me here or check out my website at laniecarmelo.tech.
