“Everyone gets angry about the lack of available clothing size diversity, but at least there is such a thing as a size XXXS, 6x, and everything in between and beyond — even if they aren’t always easy to get. You can even get golf ball-size scrunchies to ones the size of the 10-inch Magic 8 Ball (the giant one). But as an amputee, I can’t seem to get a hand that matches the size of the one I have left.” My latest on the need for size inclusivity in prosthetic limbs is out now on @nbcnews Link in bio #accessibility [Description: Photo 1, In black text on white background in the upper left is the NBC peacock logo and to the right of that, in bold black letters, the word “THINK” below that, in red text on white reads “Opinion, Analysis, Essays” Below that are two photos. The one on the left is a photo of a tiny, greenish-tinged hand resting perfectly in the palm of Chloé’s hand. Below that, in red text on white “Fit Like a Glove.” The photo to the right of that is an image of Chloé standing in a field wearing her prosthetic arm and looking away from the camera. Below that reads the headline “Prosthetics are built for disabled people. But they still lack inclusivity.” And below that reads the dek “Amputees can't truly be comfortable in wearable technology if simple things, such as having more sizes to choose from, aren't available.” Photo 2, In black text on a white background reads a quote from Chloé’s article “Ironically, prosthetics, built with disabled users in mind, are still not inclusive, leaving most prosthetic users devoid of the Goldilocks outcome that feels just right.”] #nbc #NBCNews #opinion #health #technology #inclusivity #disability #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityAdvocate #amputee #prosthetics #ProstheticArm #writer #SizeInclusive #diversity
