Honest access, it's a basic human right, To live our lives freely, without any fight. Let's open our minds, with empathy and care, And create a world where equality is always there. #equalaccess #Equality #DisabledTwitter

@NFB_voice There's always a way forward. Use technology, practice regularly, seek feedback, read widely, pursue education, build a network, and be persistent and confident.

What advice do you have for blind people pursuing writing careers??

5/5 - By addressing these factors, we can foster growth and resilience in children with visual disabilities. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! #growth #resilience #childrenwithvisualdisabilities #Blindtogether

4/5 - Investing time in finding a center or organization that offers O&M specialist services is important for children with visual disabilities. Public schools should also consider O&M services for each blind or visually impaired child as part of their IEP. #IEP

1/5 - The early years are crucial for a child's growth and development, especially for those with visual disabilities. Early intervention is essential to lay a strong foundation for their future. #earlyintervention #visualdisabilities

@brailleknights There are literally no excuses this time. AI will type out, speak out, and map out the process in great detail where people fail to deliver on basic access points. I'm counting on #Web3 to not leave #accessibility behind.

Will AI make #Accessibility a consideration? Humans have failed to create #Accessible products. It’s a concern that AI-based solutions could exacerbate or resolve a lot of barriers we face. As per usual, we are bottom of the list in this societal change. #A11Y 🧵 (1/2)

@kerrydougherty @BeMyEyes Sounds like a wonderful experience!

I just helped a blind person see with the Be My Eyes app @BeMyEyes. This is my favorite app! I just helped a lovely lady in North Carolina read the directions on her corn muffin mix. bemyeyes.com

@BeMyEyes @BeMyEyes Truly incredible, I'm stoked to give it a try!

Our new Virtual Volunteer™ tool will provide an unprecedented level of independence in the lives of millions of people who are blind or have low vision, and we cannot be more excited about this! 🚀 Read more about Virtual Volunteer here: hubs.li/Q01GS4lK0

The spectrum of blindness is not a binary concept, but a constantly evolving and collective experience that differs for each individual. #lowvision #blindness #MentalHealthMatters

Adjusting to a visual disability involves navigating a range of emotions and reactions, from shock and denial to anxiety and depression. It's an ongoing process that requires time, reflection, and support.

For families with members diagnosed with vision-related disabilities, organizations like #AFB & #NFB offer extensive info, advocacy, and support. Familiarize yourself with understanding available resources. Remember, participation is key! #visiondisability #participation #blind

@VIPSorg Love to see these types of organizations!

We want to take a sec to reintroduce ourselves- we are a 501(c)3 NPO that provides education to young children who are blind/visually impaired (and their families!) in Kentucky and Indiana. Check out our website vips.org

@LOOK_UK @VICTAUK This sounds so neat - Love the effort and originating!

Are you a parent with #VI needs or are you considering becoming a parent in the future? Join our free, online Q&A session on 5th April, hosted by @LOOK_UK & @VICTAUK Hear from our fantastic group of parents with VI about their experience & ask any qus. look-uk.org/vi-parenting-qa

@Summerchereie @BeMyEyes Can you talk about the experience?

I encourage people to download the @BeMyEyes app! It’s a super easy process. A small task for you will mean so much for visually impaired people that often could use some assistance with everyday tasks.

@ross_minor That's one aspect I tend to look at before I purchase a game, is it #accessible.

Can you believe I just completed The Last of Us Part I for the first time as a gamer without sight? Just so many other accessible games coming out that this one had to sit on the shelf for a bit. Time to tackle the DLC! #Blind #TheLastOfUs #Accessibility
