The CDCI collaborates with people with disabilities so communities include everyone. Inclusion is love, but accessibility is mandatory.

readers, how would you feel about a book with a disabled protagonist due to long covid? the book is not at all about covid, it's just the character's disability
I got told it's "too soon" or "too close to home" but I can't possibly be the only audience for this right?
Happy Birthday to Braille, and kudos to Dave for doing such an amazing job with this meme.

Language access is #accessibility.
Thanks to our friends at @HHSOCR for creating language access know-your-rights flyers to help people who don’t speak or read English get the care they need. In addition to this English version, flyers are available in 15+ languages. #ProtectFamilies hhs.gov/sites/default/files/…

The era of tolerating mistreatment of airline passengers with disabilities is over.

Great to see everyone at the staff retreat this week! Powerful conversations on how to move our work forward.

In related news, congratulations to the winning team of our staff retreat trivia contest, Pub Peeps!
Trivia contests are a great way to get staff fired up about learning facts on accessibility, disability history, and where to find things in our department.

This should always 100% be your very first reason if it wasn’t already. Universal design benefits all of us, but we should care about who it benefits the *most* today, rn. Thank you @kiatorr
People pushing strollers, people carrying a lot of stuff, people trying to talk on their phones and walk at the same time, people in dodgy shoes. Literally all of us.

Also, anything that benefits disabled people will likely benefit you too. It was disabled people who did the work to make curb cuts in our sidewalks mandatory & you know who else benefits from them? Literally all of us
We love seeing Dr. Komabu-Pomeyie bring her message of global #DisabilityInclusion to a larger audience. Thank you, @UVM_Libraries, for making this possible.
On a Friday afternoon in August, UVM Lecturer Sefakor Komabu-Pomeyie commanded a crowd in Howe Library to hear her read from her memoir, "I'm Able: A Woman's Advice for Disability Change Agents."

ALT Four women are in a circle: three are standing, one is in an electric wheelchair. All of the women are laughing and one holds her hand up to express something she has just said. These women are in front of a large window facing the central campus residence hall at UVM.

Being "able bodied" is temporary, you will age, you will get injured, you will get sick and you will wish you fought more for the system to protect the vulnerable.
Congratulations to all the athletes at the #ParisParalympics2024 games! It was an honor to watch you all compete.
