My name is Kalia Douglas-Micallef, and I am the founder of Anti-Ableism. I was born with profound hearing loss, and wear hearing aids in both ears. My mission is to spread awareness about ableism and audism through various creative formats, including fiction and non-fiction writing, educational films based on documenting the lived realities of folks with disabilities, fictional animated children’s series, and workshops featuring conducted research in the form of infographics and data visualization from a multi-sensory design standpoint, as well as barrier free anti ableist strategies towards institutional success and equity. My goal is to raise the stakes for people like myself, and eliminate the barriers that my community faces in society.

Anti-Ableism strives to promote an anti-ableist narrative and create systemic education reform for children and students with disabilities.

Our mission is to create and present workshops to school boards across the nation on how to teach starting from an anti-ableist narrative, and how to accommodate students with disabilities with and without an IEP (Individual Education Plan).

Our mission is to ensure education is accessible for all students, and for educational institutions to provide adequate accommodations they are legally required to. Access and inclusion starts at the foundational level, all for the rise and betterment of a more equitable and just education system, workforce and society.

Our mission is to advocate for a barrier free, anti ableist education for mainstreamed d/Deaf and HoH children and students.
