hi! I'm aware that this blog is for questions about writing disabilities in general, but do you guys know of any blogs or resources to look for sensitivity/beta readers? in case you guys don't beta read.
thanks for all your work, mods! <3

Hello!
For specific disabilities, there are some Tumblr pages that offer sensitivity reading:
@blindbeta does sensitivity reading for works involving blind characters. You can find information about their availability, rate, and such in their pinned post.
@vitiligo-is-not-a-trend does sensitivity reading for works involving characters with vitiligo.
@a-little-revolution has mentioned doing sensitivity reading [Link] for characters with dwarfism (and possibly autistic and hard-of-hearing characters).
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any active blogs on the topic of general sensitivity reading.
If you're open to going off-site, there's also a subreddit called r/SensitivityReaders for connecting writers with sensitivity readers.
They have a few categories:
Culture/Ethnicity
Disability
Job/Experience
LGBT+ & LGBTQ+ (For some reason these are two different tags?)
Mental Illness
Physical Illness
Religion
I'm not sure about the other mods but I will mention that I do personally do sensitivity reading, beta reading, and editing occasionally.
Cheers,
