QUOTE of the DAY: @Adam Hills talking about para-standing Tennis and it's uptake in Australia. ‘The analogy I use is it feels like people have built this building. And they have put stairs in for able-bodied people and a ramp for people in a wheelchair. But they have forgotten about any other disabilities in the middle.’ Adam Hills People ask me why do we need to do more than DDA Standards to create a truly inclusive space? #InclusiveDesign is more than just an #accessible ramp and accessible equipment. It is complex and detailed. It's design thinking about where adjustments and supports can be added to increase #choice and #participation for the many ages and stages, sizes, genders, backgrounds, preferences and experiences that ensure we ALL feel safe, welcome , and that we #belong. The devil is in the detail. How are you doing at designing and delivering for all of us in the middle? https://lnkd.in/gFfd7WQi

The best part of team sports... It teaches us all to be coachable and adaptable. We had to simplify some family rules and expectations this week: ∙ We do quality work with high effort. ∙ We do it with a great attitude. ∙ We are a great team member to everyone in the family. It's not about the outcome; it's about embracing the process. Follow these three rules, and good things happen. Cheers, Nic p.s.

This is just one of the many reasons that when I am designing or conceptualizing a space, I think about accessibility and inclusivity right from the start. We shouldn't be modifying the spaces we design after the fact to accommodate the community - because it isn't "accommodating" a difference among people, it is about designing for the maximum variety of people from the start. #inclusivedesign #designforall #designforourcommunities https://lnkd.in/gSYfEyAU

Black children and teens (5–19 years old) in the U.S. are 5.5x as likely to drown in a pool as their white peers, reaching 10x higher between the ages of 11 and 12. The first report to examine the disparity in the U.S. was published only 10 years ago by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but the historical backdrop of this gap goes back generations: ➡️Municipal pool construction boomed between 1920s and 1940s. Just as quickly, these community centers were segregated—keeping Black families at bay—either though official laws or geographic barriers, intimidation, or violence. ➡️After desegregation in 1964, funding to city pools rapidly declined. While many white middle class families relocated to the suburbs, establishing new private pool clubs, many city pools were closed or destroyed. ➡️Generationally, in the U.S., if a parent can't swim, there is an 81% chance their child will never learn. Today, there are 32x as many private pools as public ones in the U.S. The cost of swim lessons are generally high, and funding and staffing at public swim spots has dwindled, exacerbated by the pandemic. Swimming is a life-saving skill. This #BlackHistoryMonth, read more about the historic and present barriers preventing many Black Americans from #swimsafety.
