Interview with Bryce Tuttle : Disability at Stanford Oral History Project
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Bryce Tuttle, a member of the Class of 2020, shares his experiences with disability activism while at Stanford. He describes his experiences with dyslexia in elementary school and later at the Latin School of Chicago, including using audio books and speech-to-text technologies and struggling to learn a foreign language. Turning to his time at Stanford, he describes how a positive interaction with the Office of Accessible Education influenced him to attend and describes the process of arranging for accommodations. He recounts some of the struggles he and others had with professors, including one incident where a professor wouldn’t allow him to use a laptop to record notes. He speaks to the stigmas and stereotypes surrounding disability, disability and identity, and the limited power the disability community and the OAE has in regard to changing faculty behavior. He describes his own activism around disability, especially his work through the Associated Students of Stanford University (ASSU) to establish a disability community center at Stanford.
