Rikki Poynter | that happy moment when your American Sign Language interpreter shows up to the dentist #GAAD @rikkipoynter | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day! Today’s off to a good start since I requested an ASL interpreter for my dentist appointments for the first time ever and one arrived! She was lovely to have and the dentist appointment in general was lovely… despite the fact that I left with 3 cavities and they’re expensive to fill so I have to work on finding better insurance before I get that done.
Let’s celebrate the day today! What’s your favorite accessibility tool? Let me know in the comments!

Hello! Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day! So for the first time ever since moving to Nebraska, I went to the dentist. It was also my first time ever using an ASL interpreter. And yes, I was worried that the interpreter wasn’t going to show up, but she did. She was really nice. Everyone was really nice. And yeah, I was just laid back, looking up, but the interpreter was interpreting everything that was being said. It was a good time. Yeah. And in the future, I would definitely keep on using an interpreter, the same interpreter. So again, Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day. A long name. And let me know what your favorite accessibility tool is.
