Lanie Molinar Carmelo

🌟 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

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:

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.

Hello again. Regrets that we made progress no with the third poll. The letter ‘C’ won with 31% of the vote, but there are no Cs.

So, onwards with our fourth poll for this round of #HangTrek!


We are looking for a three word phrase:
first word has 7 letters, the second word also has 7 letters., and the third word has 4 letters.

_ _ _ r o _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ o _ / _ _ _ _

R & O are in, C is out.

(The letter ‘R’ was erroneously reported out earlier - it won the first poll with half the votes, and in my inadequately caffeinated state, I ignored its existence in the first of three words.)


This poll for the 3rd letter to try runs for 6 hours.

If the answer hasn't been correctly guessed, we will continue on to the next poll in this thread.

Ms. Que Banh

In the 1980s, arcade manufacturers such as #Atari, #MidwayManufacturing and #WilliamsElectronics donated equipment to the tournaments for #PlayersWithDisabilities. They also supplied Gary with spare parts to build the custom mouth interface that his brother needed.

The path from 1980s #arcade and #pinball to today's multimillion-dollar mainstream #VideoGames is neither a straight line nor a story of constant improvement for #PeopleWithDisabilities. Some game genres came and went, as did some game companies. Players with disabilities were #gaming all along, but it wasn't until the 2010s that advocacy for these players started getting wide recognition.

Over the years, the #GamesIndustry had been slow to include players with disabilities in the #GameDesign processes where they could address systemic issues of #accessibility. Advocacy organizations have worked in this space for more than a decade, with one landmark being the #IncludificationProject published in 2012 by #AbleGamers.
