Did you know that the United Nations has prepared disability-inclusive guidelines to promote inclusion and ensure the participation of persons with disabilities in all spheres of work and life. These guidelines help foster an environment of respect and inclusion for people with disabilities.

Today is National Disability Independence Day, marking the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This landmark U.S. law prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities and champions their rights to equality and accessibility. At Mount Sinai, we are honored to observe this day in honor of the groundbreaking work that the Americans with Disabilities Act has accomplished. We aim to foster a community that actively promotes inclusion, values diversity, and upholds equity for all. We work together to create a world where each person has the chance to prosper. #RaisingAwareness #DiversityandInclusion #DiversityatMountSinai #DisabilityPride #DiversityinHealthcare #raisingdisabilityawareness #dontdismyability #disabilityawareness #disability #peoplewithdisabilities #equity #inclusion #diversity #ADA #AmericansWithDisabilitiesAct #ADAAwarenessDay

Decision-making and leadership require relatability. If you aren't a part of the community, you lack the qualifications. #cerebralpalsyawareness #cerebralpalsy #cpadvocate #cerebralpalsyadvocate

Disability inclusion cannot be an afterthought or a box to check. It requires a fundamental shift in mindset and approach, one that centers and amplifies the voices, perspectives and lived experiences of the disability community. Only then can we truly understand the barriers, challenges and nuances that the disability community faces, and co-create solutions that are meaningful, practical and empowering. #DisabilityRights #DisabilityAwareness #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

For today’s #DisabilityPride post let’s remember that true inclusion comes when we have representation in the rooms where it matters. Diverse decision makers lead to better results for everyone.

This pretty much applies to any kind of inclusion.

The ADA provides Americans with disabilities equal access to employment opportunities by prohibiting businesses from discriminating against people with disabilities. This is a 3-part series on myths and facts about employers and the ADA. #ADA #disability #inclusion #MythsAndFacts

Involving people with disabilities in the decision-making and leadership roles is the only way real and full Disability Inclusion can occur. Period. #WeAreBillionStrong #DisabilityInclusion #Equity #a11y #SDGs #DisabilityRights

PERIOD. Real Results take REAL Change

When it comes to making decisions about accessibility, let's remember to invite people with disabilities to the table. We will accomplish so much more when we give them a say in the matter. #Inclusion #Equity #ASL #Accessibility #InclusiveWorkplace #ConnectBeyondWords #TeamCollaboration #WorkplaceEquity
