Yes! This is also why one of our accessibility goals at DIAL Design is awareness with a specific purpose of helping people form the knowledge and empathy needed to change the accessibility conversation from just a commercial angle (what/how can companies gain?) to a social one too (how can we make our products/services better for everyone regardless of their pocket size?). #Accessibility #DisabilityAwareness

I am often asked for advice on how to “sell” accessible and inclusive garden design in public and private spaces. I can see these people hope for a impenetrable list of justifications and benefits they can pass on to get projects greenlit. My advice is always to turn the tables and simply ask for a justification why these spaces shouldn’t be universally designed and inclusive for all. It’s often met with a bit of shock to be honest. Because we just don’t think reflexively enough about the idea that access and inclusion (I believe these things are different too btw) is a basic human right. So I loved seeing this as it re-affirms my position within greenspace design. AND this approach applies to all disadvantaged groups too. Not just within disability. #greenspace #landscapedesign #therapeutichorticulture #inclusion #disability #disabilityrights

Disability inclusion guarantees equal opportunities and respect across all aspects of life, including employment, aiming for fairness where everyone can contribute fully without discrimination. It's a crucial step toward a more just and equitable society. https://lnkd.in/dZkgJnGa
