Hogwarts Students With Epilepsy Headcannon

They aren’t allowed to ride brooms because their seizures might cause them to fall off, so they become some of the best levitators in the school. One of them becomes the first broomless chaser to compete in the Quidditch World Cup.

things i've been thinking about/may need to write about, eventually, if i can manage:

hufflepuffs with disabilities, specifically hufflepuffs who have issues with executive function and the ableism they face and how fellow hufflepuffs help them out

my experiences as a hufflepuff with mental disabilities that cause me to have issues with executive function and the shit i've gotten about the 'hard working' trait 

how fucking pissed off i am that jk decided to call non-magical people born into magical families 'squibs'. cuz i'm really pissed

a friend pointed out that they worry that ravenclaws would not be accepting of the fact that some disabled wixens would have cognitive symptoms that make it difficult to comprehend and remember new knowledge. but the way that i see it is that they would understand that pursuit of knowledge is a tiring experience! even for abled wixens!

so they could help other members of the house come up with new learning habits that work within their individual limits and learning styles, and would help them study when they have low spoons!

and would bring them tea and (diet friendly) nourishment when studying so that they have nutrients in their system to help them with energy levels and comprehension!

and helping to break down more complicated terminology into language that disabled wixens can better understand if they have difficulty with academic terminology!

and helping to write cliff notes for disabled wixens that have difficulty with concentrated words, or putting them in accessible penmanship and on appropriately colored parchment for disabled wixens with dyslexia!

ravenclaws work together as a team to make knowledge accessible to anyone who wants to access it, not just those who already have the resources that enable them to learn at the fast pace of the rest of the world!

let's face it Helga Hufflepuff was probably the first to make accomodations for disabled students and pushed the other founders to do the same

The wand chooses its mage

but the wand takes its mage's sensory issues into account

Ollivander also has a wheelchair and magical assistive technologies shop because those aren't that different from magic wands

fluffybelle replied to your post: LEVITATING WHEELCHAIRS ...

i was thinking about this earlier!!! floating wheelchairs and stairs that turn into ramps also

yessss how cool is that

also those wheelchairs are super easy to customize with magic. wheeh pink wheelchairs, wheelchairs in house colours for Quidditch days

wheelchairs that yells at people when they say ableist shit or when they try to push someone without asking them ("WHAT ABOUT CONSENT FUCKER ?")

magic wheelchairs !!
