Open Inclusion

Happy #InternationalWheelchairDay! Having the ability to move about using this vital AT enables access to social and political engagement, education, employment, health services and more for +65 million globally according to the @WHO

@PurpleTuesNov Happy #PurpleTuesday everyone! A day to pause, consider disabled consumers even more than usual so that commitments delivered by organisations to progress disability inclusion right across the year are even easier to understand and fulfil. 💜💜💜

Happy #PurpleTuesday2023 💜 We wanted to share some images coming in from the happening around the world today! We have also loved seeing all of your own celebration events pictures too, so keep them coming! #Accessiblity #Disability

@jennylayfluffy @lachimusic @GaelynnLea @rampdup @jennylayfluffy I found this thanks to you this evening. Perfect timing. A little Judy energy was needed today 🙏

I love this song. ‘Lift me Up’ - honouring Judy Heumann, written, performed by @lachimusic, @GaelynnLea, James Ian. Saw it live couple of weeks ago and it rocked my world. The video is all that and more.. Congrats folks on amazing launch. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=zmr4H9… 🙌🙌🏽🙌🏿

@A11yLondon There is no such thing as “fully accessible”. There‘s always likely to be someone who may find it difficult to access. Fully WCAG compliant is not fully accessible. It’s a great start. Accessibility is a journey towards better not a destination.

Give us your most contentious accessibility opinion.

@thatjohn @Delta A really exciting development getting us one step closer to being able to travel in your powerchair on flights. It could make air travel safer, more comfortable and more confident (reducing the risk of hold damage to chairs) in the near future. @Delta #AccessibleAirTravel

Absolutely brilliant to see @Delta Flight Products taking the Air4All powered wheelchair securement system to enable wheelchair users to travel *with* and *in* their chairs. A #PaxEx #a11y milestone for the decade. #AIX23

@BlindDad_Uk @Kika_GuideDog Stunning space Summer ready. Enjoy!

A final push & the Patel outdoor kitchen is all done! From having a design in my head, to framing out & adding finishing touches, I had to make a few compromises but i'm very happy with the outcome. Now, who wants pizza? 🍕 #BlindDIY

With all the toilet talk lately, non of which ever includes accessible toilets, I saw this door sign and loved it. Inclusion can be simple, but it must be accessible - which it rarely ever is. How ironic 🙃. (Happy to share this was an accessible bathroom.) Image description: A black door leading to a single toilet. The sign on the door says ‘anyone & everyone’ in white writing. @eatbeatnic #Inclusion #GenderNeutral #Accessible #Toilet #Privilege

Origin story behind @BritishVogue #disability special.. and lovely conversation between two champions leading the way: @TheSineadBurke and Edward Enninful❤️🙏

From runways to galleries, stadiums to television screens, British Vogue’s May 2023 covers celebrate a new vanguard of Disabled talent. First up, @TheSineadBurke. In an important essay, she underscores why nothing is more fashionable than inclusivity. trib.al/urfE8ow
