The #koto is a traditional #MusicalInstrument embedded in #Japanese culture, with a long history of #healing โ an energy Takako Haggarty is harnessing for good.
The #musician teaches #children with #VisionImpairments and #disabilities how to play the instrument, helping students gain #MobilitySkills and improve #EmotionalRegulation.
She has volunteered at a #Brisbane special school, and aims to create a warm and welcoming space through the ancient sound.

Actually, these #ImageDescriptions are a great way to share your own perception of them with others, who might have a different "bias," giving them the chance to leave their respective bubbles by reflecting on their own visual impressions with yours.
So, #AltText is not "just" for the people with #VisionImpairments. ๐ค

Excellent. ๐ค
We could emulate what the #WWF initiated with #EarthHour or #HoraDelPlaneta in 2007.* People jointly turn off the lights.
When many people(s) join in a visible action, it can become a beacon of hope.
Due to the fact, that #VisionImpairments impacts only a fraction of the population and, as @[email protected], pointed out today, voluntary "temperance/abstinence is always the problem,"..
