labour shortage everywhere and i’m hearing various recruitment strategies to get youth, older workers, and immigrants to work. Nobody seems to be investing in the workforce with disabilities.

We are all on the disability spectrum—Those in denial state/ableist, those in acceptance state/the disabled, and those in the ignorance state/neither ableist nor disabled.

Dear contractors and engineers…why do you make the distance of the ramp to the entrance 3 times the steps to same the entrance?

@judithheumann a true heroine who fought to lessen the burden society put on people with disabilities in America and around the world. She was born into an inaccessible world, but she died in a more accessible world. A true change maker.

[David Achuroa @AchuroaD]

People with disabilities aren’t a burden in society but great change makers. They shape the economic and social progress of society.

I spent more time convincing strangers that they have a false impression about me. It is real pain erasing this negative impression to leave them with a positive impression of myself. This is the real burden on everyone who lives with a disability.

Weighing ourselves requires no medical appointments, many wheelchair users must make such appointments to access the same service. Inaccessible services are fixable.

Throughout history, people with disabilities (PwDs) have carried the burden of advocating for their own inclusion and equal participation in society.

Having a disability is the least concern for me, my biggest concern is convincing people that my disability and ability are two distinctive parts of me.

The world we live in was built by ableist and for ableist. Persons with disability constantly faced insurmountable barriers to fit in this ableist constructed world.

Can’t believe an intercity bus driver said my arm crutches are weapons and that I shouldn’t bring them inside. what’s wrong with humanity these days?

[David Achuroa @AchuroaD]

Mr. Stranger, I believe you’re an adult, check the status of your usefulness to society.

[Dr Alison Pearson @alisonpearsonSW]

Earlier this year someone (online) told me my daughter has no value “because she will never work”.

Well Mr Anonymous, I’m telling you the currency you’re using to assess value is so very wrong.
