Rebecca Cartwright is a disabled and neurodivergent speaker, educator, and inclusion advocate living in the Chicago suburbs. Through presentations, workshops, and individualized services, she helps people transform their spaces from accidentally ableist to intentionally inclusive through practical, everyday actions.
 
By weaving together pragmatic advice and personal storytelling, she creates nonjudgmental entry points that encourage participants to learn, reflect, and act with self-awareness and compassion. 

Since being diagnosed with a degenerative muscle disease in 2010, garment making and quilting have been sources of comfort, self-accommodation, and creative expression.

Her work has appeared in a variety of British and American publications, including QuiltCon magazine and Love Patchwork & Quilting. 

Rebecca also advocates for inclusion on social media, makes art quilts about living in ableist culture, and facilitates the Anti-Ableist Makers Society – an online learning community exploring how ableist culture affects our creative practice and the spaces we craft in.
