Historically speaking the curb-cut effect can be linked to UC Berkeley Student Activists. We are so proud of our INCIGHT Scholar Jada Yang, continuing the effort to make the world accessible.

INCIGHT’s mission has always been rooted in changing hearts and minds about how society views disability. Each year, INCIGHT Scholars exemplify this mission through their leadership, advocacy, and commitment to creating a more inclusive world. One remarkable example is Jada Yang, a sophomore at the University of California, Berkeley, who is quickly emerging as a powerful voice in disability rights and public policy.

Article: The Than, More Than, I Am
I always considered my neurodivergent mind a strength rather than a major weakness or something that made me less than anyone else my age. I do have to thank my family for this, as I recall that my mother provided me with many examples of famous faces who shared the same learning differences as mine and were still exceptional.

Article: Disability & AI Part II - Cyber Curb-Cut, meet Cyber Speedbump
In Disability and AI I - AI Breaking Barriers, we looked at the “Cyber Curb Cut”—how AI tools built for the disability community end up making life easier for everyone. But a curb cut made of concrete is just a predictable dip in the sidewalk. A curb cut made of code is different. If the code is built on biased data, that “dip in the sidewalk” might actually become an insurmountable bump. Inclusion’s a great goal to drive toward, but reality can present a speedbump on that road. Here’s how:1. Th

Article: The Silent Majority: Inside Streetcar 82
There’s a place in Hyattsville, Maryland called Streetcar 82 Brewing Co.. You’d expect to walk in and hear music thumping and people talking, but you won’t. Instead, you’ll see people pointing to a taplist, writing notes on their smartphones to show the staff, or writing on a reusable “doodle board”. Streetcar 82 is entirely Deaf-owned and -operated, and the doodle board is a perfect low-tech solution to bridge the worlds of those who can hear and those who can’t. This inevitably leads to a feel

Article: AI Breaking Barriers
Recently, the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a huge thing in the public consciousness; people have been talking about this technology’s environmental impact, possible benefits for humanity, and more. However, we’re overlooking one of the biggest impacts it has: helping people with disabilities participate in an able-bodied world. I’d dare to say that it’s almost as big as curb cuts—those dips in the sidewalk that were “rolled out” (pun intended) for wheelchair users, but are also

Article: Entrepreneur Spotlight: JD Duran
JD Duran didn’t set out to become an entrepreneur—it happened by accident. In this Entrepreneur Spotlight, JD shares how his freelance digital marketing work grew organically from community storytelling, how living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease shaped his approach to patience and creative problem-solving, and why inclusion means more than just having a seat at the table. His journey shows how disability-informed perspectives can strengthen organizations and the communities they serve.
