Today we celebrate National Disability Independence Day, which commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law in 1990. The ADA has had a profound impact, but we still have much work to do to continue building a culture that not only protects disability rights, but also celebrates disability pride. Here are three ways you can help to create a more accessible workspace: 1. Use captions in your virtual meetings, and when/where appropriate, save a recorded transcript for later distribution. 2. Provide agendas for meetings so those needing more time to process information to successfully share ideas have that space. 3. Include alt text on online images that describe what’s happening in the photo for those who may not be able to see.
