🌟 LIGHT from DARK 🌟 How much talent is being lost? Did you know 65% of Neurodiverse people think about suicide on a serious note? Maby because they are masking or just cannot be themselves.. Thank you, graham House , for your powerful words and unwavering support. As Graham mentioned, there comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river and start addressing the root causes that lead to these issues. I am deeply committed to going upstream and tackling these causal factors to bring about positive social change that benefits us all. Grahams acknowledgment of my efforts and the analogy to Bishop Desmond Tutu's sentiment is both humbling and motivating. The mission we are on raises important questions: Why, How, and the Benefit. The 'why' is crucial and can be explored further in the provided link. The 'how' and 'benefit' are outlined in our flight plan, and we're on the cusp of getting the clearance to move forward. These issues affect over 1 billion people worldwide and more than 10 million in the UK alone. Together, we can embark on this journey to create a brighter future for everyone. Join the conversation and share your thoughts in the comments. Let's turn the lights on together! 💡 #Leadership #SocialImpact #Neurodiversity #Innovation #OnTheHill #PositiveChange #job #talent Neurodiversity in Business (NiB) - the Neurodiversity Charity

Bravo Zulu War Room and Frank Jones WAR ON THE 21ST CENTURY BATTLEFIELD: REVISITING GENERAL STARRY'S CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK By Frank Jones May 16,2024 https://lnkd.in/edGHaSP9

Today marks a significant milestone in assistive technology history. For people who are blind, the use of braille equals literacy. And aside from physical hard copy braille, which is expensive and takes a long time to produce, the use of refreshable, electronic braille displays enabled blind people to receive braille when connected to other tools running a screen reader. These displays are often 20-40 characters long and give access to the written word in a single line experience. As this has provided more access to braille in general, it can obviously be challenging for readers to identify things like spatial formatting, page structure, and creates real challenges when trying to work on STEM subjects one line at a time. Today the Monarch, the world's first Dynamic Tactile device capable of displaying both 10 lines of 32 braille characters, and tactile images on the same surface, is officially available for purchase. I have had the privilege over the past 4 years of being one of the leads on this project here at the American Printing House for the Blind. I say one of the leaders, because this project took partnerships across the board and around the world. From our partnership with HumanWare as an equal investor, to the partnership with the NFB to ensure we kept the blind user at the center of all we did, along with aligning our advocacy efforts to the federal government. In addition there have been tech innovation partnerships with DOT Inc who designed the braille cell tech that is used in the Monarch's tactile display, to the eBRAILLE standard development taken up by the DAISY Consortium and over 40 organizations around the world. Students around the country and world will begin receiving Monarch tactile displays, and soon we at APH will begin distributing their textbooks in a digital format. The federal government funds textbooks for students in K-12 here in the states and we have received early notice from the Senate languge for our appropriation bill that there is bipartisan support to increase APH's federal appropriation to fund Monarch's for any blind child who could use one in America. This still needs to be voted on, and with the political uncertainty in our country, a lot can still happen, but we are beyond excited to see Monarchs flying today, and to see the excitement by congress to potentially provide funding to eliminate the cost barrier of this expensive technology for our students. As I told my team today. "There's always more work to do but if we can't stop and celebrate the victories we've been working so hard for, then what are we really doing?" Here's to the next generation of braille readers and i can't wait to see how this new tactile tech improves their access to digital information!
