It’s Disability History Month, a time to raise awareness and celebrate the history and achievements of disabled people and communities. It’s also a time to highlight the ongoing struggles for equality disabled people face.

We stand in solidarity with disabled people and communities and celebrate our disabled team members, supporters and siblings!

Every year, conveniently around #DisabilityHistoryMonth, I teach some sessions on #Disability, #SEN, #accessibility and #inclusion to postgrads. As prep I set a task of engaging with the creative and/or professional work of D/disabled people, and posting links on their course forum. In case this is of interest, I did a couple of long Bluesky threads with all their recommendations. https://bsky.app/profile/finesilver.bsky.social in case of interest. (Soz, haven't worked out how to duplicate it all on both platforms yet.)

The bottom line is this: #accessibility is not too expensive. Organizations that invest in accessibility are investing in the future. They’re building a business that serves, respects, and includes everyone.
