Disability in Texas

Dozens of squares of various sizes come together to make the shape of the state of Texas. In several of the boxes are disability access symbols, including symbols for low vision access, sign language interpretation, hearing loss access, braille, wheelchair accessibility, volume control telephone, intellectual disability, autism, and universal access. Text in the top right corner of the image reads "The State of Disability in Texas," and the Texas Standard logo sits in the bottom right corner.
