Have you ever attended a meeting or presentation where graphic recording, or graphic facilitation, was used? Studies show that pictures and images make ideas more understandable and memorable while also making communication more efficient and actionable. On average, people remember 10% of what they hear, 20% of what they read, and 80% of what they see and do. Not only does live sketching captivate audiences, but it can also help explain complex issues, and boost event engagement online and in-person.

Our disabilities are a fundamental aspect of our identities we want nondisabled people to see, otherwise we will not get our needs met and we will not be included. When we obfuscate our disabilities with euphemisms, like differently-abled, special needs and physically or mentally challenged, we not only reinforce the idea that being disabled is shameful, we erase our unmet access and support needs, we erase our experiences of ableism and disablism, and we erase the shared identity that connects us to our disability community. #DisabilityRights #DisabilityInclusion #DisabilityIsNotADirtyWord

Tip 5: Ensure people with disabilities can be active participants in your interventions. Think about the following questions when assessing program accessibility and visit the embedded links for supportive resources: • Are your program delivery staff trained to identify people for physical, sensory, intellectual, and other disabilities? • Do you offer support to ensure that disabled people can fully participate in your programs? • Are your materials available in alternate formats? • Is your website accessible? #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityInclusionNetwork mage description: A dark blue image with text, NACDD is proud to celebrate Disability Pride Month.

Today, we celebrate the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Disability Pride Month! Signed into law on July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities—both visible and non-visible—such as requiring employers to provide accommodations for individuals with disabilities and ensuring that buildings and public transportation are accessible. Our goal is to provide an inclusive and accessible space for our patients, visitors, and team members and advocate for equal opportunities for all. Join us as we celebrate and recognize achievements in this area while continuing to work toward bridging the gap in disability inclusion. #ADA #AmericansWithDisabilitiesAct #ADAanniversary #ADA34 #DisabilityPrideMonth #NationalDisabilityIndependenceDay #inclusivity #accessibility
