India Kaltsas West. As someone with multiple disabilities, to include visual impairment and an intellectual disability, I am passionate about disability equity, access and inclusion across all spaces. Specifically, I believe assistive technology is critical for mitigating barriers in both digital and "real world" spaces. I work as an assistive technology consultant for SDSU, helping faculty and staff better understand the impact of inaccessibility and what solutions are available to ensure all students have an inclusive and supportive college experience. In my free time, I teach Braille and provide assistive tech support to the visually impaired community.

India Kaltsas West. Como alguien con discapacidades múltiples, incluidas la discapacidad visual y la discapacidad intelectual, me apasiona la equidad, el acceso y la inclusión de la discapacidad en todos los espacios. Específicamente, creo que la tecnología de asistencia es fundamental para mitigar barreras tanto en los espacios digitales como en los del "mundo real". Trabajo como consultora de tecnología de asistencia para SDSU, ayudando a los profesores y al personal a comprender mejor el impacto de la inaccesibilidad y qué soluciones están disponibles para garantizar que todos los estudiantes tengan una experiencia universitaria inclusiva y solidaria. En mi tiempo libre, enseño Braille y proporciono soporte técnico asistivo a la comunidad con discapacidades visuales.
