On International Day of People with #Disabilities, I thought I'd share this article on #invisibledisabilities.

#IDPD: Watch our new #HeritageMinute on Edwin Baker on this International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Blinded by a sniper’s bullet during the First World War, Baker would go on to be a co-founder of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. https://youtu.be/b-vQmhISjxU

Today is International Day of People with Disabilities. Today we celebrate disabled people and honor the struggle for #DisabilityRights worldwide. Here on the #Fediverse, we can contribute to this by boosting posts by disabled people, learning about #OnlineAccessibility (and following it year-round), following #DisabilityJustice accounts, and boosting and contributing to #DisabilityMutualAid posts.

On International Day of #People with #Disabilities, please note some disabilities are #invisible

The pledge to leave no one behind is more imperative than ever.

To fulfil it, we must all act together to make the full inclusion and participation of persons with #disabilities a reality.

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities, or International Day of Disabled Persons (because identity-first language is very important). Episode 16 of Accessagogy is out. Today's episode is about accessible mentorship. It provides things to consider in mentorship, how to build inclusive mentorship, and reflects on how disabled folk can be actively excluded from mentorship programs as mentors and mentees. Episode length 13:34 https://lnkd.in/gMQDWz5S #IDPD #HigherEd #accessibility

Today marks the International Day of Persons with Disabilities to honor the strength and achievements of people with disabilities around the globe.

It's a moment to reflect on our progress thus far and to anticipate the continued efforts needed in the future.

Manipur: Epidemics May Break Out in Relief Camps if Urgent Measures Not Taken, Warn Doctors

Routine immunisation for children has stopped, surgeries and dialysis put on hold, referral to higher health facilities has become a thing of the past. Shortage of medicines and restrictions on doctors' movements paralyse healthcare in the state.

Q6 What should we do for the other 364 days of the year when we are not internationally celebrating people with disabilities? #IDPD #AXSChat #Disability #Accessibility

Q3 Kate Nash OBE
started #PurpleLightUp to celebrate #IDPD on the 3rd of December. What started as a tweet turned into an annual event. Did you take part by wearing purple or lighting up purple? #AXSChat #Disability #Accessibility

This is a longer piece, even for me, but apparently today was the day when I needed to write it; and it seems fitting to be the day to share it.

This is a collection of my musings about software, digital technology, who gets to create it, and why (and how) that must change.

This is Disability-Driven Development:

People with disabilities still face exclusion, barriers and unfair obstacles.

In Europe, everyone should have the same chance. Without discrimination, without prejudice.

@europarl_en will continue working towards equality, same opportunities for all.

Working from home became a reality for many of us globally but for people who live with some form of #disability, remote working can be particularly tough.

These #digital tech help tackle the barriers people with disabilities face when teleworking.

As you share your posts and host your events for the International Day of People with Disabilities, don't let them simply be a one-day signal of acknowledging disabled people, a box you've checked off.

The more than one billion disabled people who exist in this world are worthy of access and full inclusion today.

And tomorrow.
And next week.
And all month.
And next year.
Always.

#InternationalDayofPersonsWithDisability

I recall that everyone must be able to fully participate in our societies.

The @EU_Commission is working to lift those barriers so that all of us can enjoy equal rights and opportunities.
