Support the SUPERabled project!
iPub Cloud Publishing House introduces an innovative interactive story-building application, “SUPERabled,” designed to integrate Classrooms with AI and other Learning Management Systems to support inclusive education for students with special needs. It aims to personalize educational reading and writing experiences, enhancing learning engagement, empathy, self-esteem, and a sense of belonging by positioning students as authors in a personalized story. The project is structured into three phases: development, individual testing, and classroom use, with a focus on inclusivity and accessibility in education for students with disabilities. During the classroom phase, there are opportunities for students and teachers to engage in dialogue about the experience and the resulting stories. It addresses the critical need for a nurturing educational environment that leverages technology to improve educational outcomes, aligning with the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) mission.

Unseen Potential: The Silent Crisis of Employment Among the Visually Impaired
In a world wired for sight, the talents of those who navigate it differently too often go unseen. For individuals who are blind or visually impaired, the job market remains an uphill battle against invisibility, not because they lack skill, intelligence, or drive, but because opportunity too often turns a blind eye.
The numbers are staggering, nearly 70% of people with visual impairments are unemployed or underemployed—a figure that has remained stubbornly high for over half a century. This isn’t a statistical quirk. It’s a systemic failure. The causes? A potent mix of discriminatory hiring practices, outdated assumptions, and a society still learning to see beyond the surface.
For those who manage to break through the hiring barrier, another challenge often awaits: underemployment. Many are relegated to part-time roles not by choice but by circumstances, working fewer hours than they need or in jobs that barely scratch the surface of their capabilities. Highly educated individuals find themselves in positions far below their qualifications, their résumés gathering dust while their potential remains untapped.
The issue is not ability. It’s access. It’s perception. It’s a labor market that has yet to fully acknowledge that vision isn’t the only lens through which value is seen.
