📢 Mobility is a right, not a privilege, for all. Watching CAP48 yesterday filled me with hope and reaffirmed the strength of humanity's solidarity 🌍💙. This morning, it made me reflect on the mobility issues facing disabled individuals, and I stumbled upon this enlightening article about a recent study commissioned by Pro Infirmis. Read here: https://lnkd.in/evu8KtqC. According to the study, a staggering 80% of disabled individuals feel excluded in various aspects. Inadequate mobility infrastructure and public transport systems remain significant challenges for those with disabilities. This truth is no surprise to me, having witnessed the daily challenges faced by a young hero and his family. But it's clear that we must continue to raise awareness about the vital role that accessible mobility plays in our shared future. So, I can only encourage supporting the "initiative for inclusion" aiming to enshrine effective equality for disabled people in the constitution. #Inclusion #AccessibleInfrastructure #Mobility #CAP48

When we think of accessibility and inclusion in relation to the built environment, the first thought that occurs to most business owners is related to the immediate benefactor, which is, of course, disabled people – and is then, more often than not, written off as an unnecessary and expensive process. But did you know accessibility and inclusion benefit business owners, too?

Our very own Scott Watkin BEM helped get this manifesto going! As Co-Chair of @LearningDisabilityEngland Representative Body. He says “With 1.5 million people with learning disabilities in the UK, we must be listened to.” It is more important than ever that people with #LearningDisabilities are heard within politics and policy. Share the Good Lives Manifesto and help to make #GoodLives a reality. https://lnkd.in/e2rKNMGz

Privileged to be among these distinguished speakers, I will discuss the intersectionality between the disability community and the African-American community, as well as how technology can bridge the gap in terms of equity and tech. See you there! #equityintech #inclusionanddiversity #inclusionmatters #inclusivefuture

Love the question that the Principal asks, "What can we do to help you?" I observed a 3rd grade mainstream school classroom where a child had some mental disability. His classmates were confused about his condition. They commented, "He is like this only! Let him be.", "He has a broken brain that is why he behaves like this." , "He has a fracture in mind. He can't do normal things." , "We dont understand him, we just tell him to be in his place." I wonder how would this class be if the teacher could talk to children about his condition, ask him how could he feel supported by atleast making him feel safe in the space. He was a bright child only to be labeled with broken mind by peers who wanted to understand him but were only hearing the labels! We are reading the book 'The Inclusion Toolbox' in Learning Pioneers community. This book is quite helpful in understanding what is inclusion and providing some strategies to make school an inclusive space.
