Did you know that many digital devices have built-in captioning? All it takes is a few minutes to enable them, & you're done! Here's a handy download with information on enabling captions on Windows 11, Google and Samsung Android. ncpd.org.za/wp-content/upl… wcapd.org.za

Many videos & audio clips are inaccessible to people with hearing impairments. Captions & transcripts help make content accessible to everyone. A good rule of thumb: all visual content should also be audible & all audible content should also be visual wcapd.org.za

Accessible design matters: avoid light text on light backgrounds and hard-to-read script fonts. Use strong contrast, clear fonts, and give users options like greyscale mode, adjustable contrast, and underlined links to improve readability for everyone. wcapd.org.za

Recent floods have reminded us: real inclusion is tested when systems are under strain. For persons with disabilities, disruption is never equal. Communities that stand together, intentionally, are the ones that hold. #WCAPD #miapd #inclusion #personswithdisabilities #Communities

Accessibility goes beyond physical access; it also includes access to information, communication & digital platforms. Ahead of Global Accessibility Awareness Day on 18 May, we’ll be exploring how systems can become more accessible for all. wcapd.org.za

Exclusion from the workplace has created a workforce of persons with disabilities determined to prove their value through resilience, dedication and innovative problem-solving. Inclusive workplaces benefit from their strong work ethic & perseverance. wcapd.org.za

Accessibility awareness means nothing if it doesn’t change how spaces, systems, & services actually work. Inclusion isn’t global rhetoric. It’s local action. Design better. Decide differently. Include intentionally. Work with WCAPD. Move from awareness to accountability. @WC_APD

For years, persons with disabilities have requested reasonable accommodation, often denied due to cost or oversight concerns. COVID-19 showed the world that flexible work is possible. Reasonable accommodation is a right, not a favour. #equalemployment #equalopportunities

Inclusive workplaces are built by seeing what’s been missed. WCAPD’s on-site disability awareness session turned everyday environments into powerful learning spaces and shifted how inclusion is understood in practice. Read more: wcapd.org.za #WCAPD #accessibility

May is Workers’ Month, and we’re shining a light on the employment of persons with disabilities. Meaningful employment is about dignity, inclusion, & equal opportunity, not handouts. It’s simply the right thing to do #employment #equalemployment #disabilityinclusion #WorkersDay
