#DisabilityHistoryMonth comes to a close this Saturday, and once a week we’ve been sharing news, facts, films and more we think you should be aware of! 💡 🔊 We really enjoyed the episode of Steph's Packed Lunch at the end of November, which dedicated 100 minutes to disability-focused content, featuring a line-up of disabled entrepreneurs. The episode delved into a range of disability-related topics, such as the challenges faced by disabled entrepreneurs in the workplace. 📺 You can see some of the highlights from the show at the video we’ve posted, and watch the full video below. 👇 https://lnkd.in/ehp7eZHp Even though Disability History month is almost over, they’re still loads of ways to increase your knowledge and awareness and broaden your own horizons, such as volunteering at your local #PhabClub or on a #PhabAdventure!

Project Ownership : Key for lasting impact In our journey of transforming the lives of kids with intellectual disabilities at our Community Care Center (CCC), I have witnessed something truly remarkable – the parents stepping up without being asked. During our sessions, they lead with passion, organizing themselves effortlessly. Their ownership of the project is very significant. Ownership is the heartbeat of any successful project. It's about seeing a need and taking action, even when not told. At our CCC, parents demonstrate this value. They realize that what's being done isn't to help the organization attain it's goals ; but about building a brighter, more inclusive future for themselves and their loved ones. This level of commitment speaks volumes about the power of ownership. It transforms projects from mere tasks an organization implements into a meaningful undertaking. The parent's leadership and dedication inspire's me everyday. #ProjectOwnership #CommunityCare #InclusionMatters #IntellectualDisability

"Life is war when you are disabled. You have to fight the world for every ounce of dignity, agency, or access."- Richard Amm #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat #DisabilityPride #DisabilityInclusion #SDGs #DisabilityRights #Equity #Accessibility #Joy ID: The image features a quote by Richard Amm, which reads: "Life is war when you are disabled. You have to fight the world for every ounce of dignity, agency, or access."

Cynicism from bad experiences can be addressed by involving people with disabilities in the design and planning processes from the outset, including research design. https://lnkd.in/e9BMQ_YF #planning #DisabilityInclusion #wheelchairaccess #publicEngagement #PeopleWithDisabilities

Anyone can achieve great things. Today is International Day of Acceptance, a yearly celebration of inclusion and awareness which began when Annie Hopkins passed away in 2009. It celebrates acceptance and promotes equality for people living with disability. Despite living with spinal muscular atrophy, both Annie and her brother overcame barriers and succeeded in going to university and co-founding a business together, 3E Love. Annie created the wheelchair heart logo to hide the wheels and show a person is not defined by their disability. The company founded by Annie and Stevie, 3E Love, stands for three things that everyone can benefit from: Embrace diversity. Educate your community. Empower each other. #DayOfAcceptance #disabilityawareness #disabilityinclusion #disabilitysupport #disabilityvisibility #mahaviradesigns
