1/ This isn't your typical academic conference. We're creating a space where diverse perspectives are heard, valued, and CENTERED - not just included as an afterthought. Community partners sit alongside researchers. Lived experience is valued as expertise. #Inclusion

[Rebecca Foster MBE @Becs_Foster]

Thanks for the voice Prof Molnar, the conference is shaping up nicely with some great abstracts submitted @disability @DisRightsUK

[British Deaf Association @BDA_Deaf]

We’re absolutely thrilled to see Deaf signers making waves writing scripts at the @BBC and shining as the lead character on #WaterlooRoad 🎉 We celebrate the incredible Deaf writer @CharlieSw_Photo and Deaf actor Danny Murphy. Let’s amplify their message together! 🌟

[Rebecca Foster MBE @Becs_Foster]

I’d like to support #EqualPlay and suggest that PE teachers take a look at this practical resource that may help them to be more inclusive in their lessons @ParalympicsGB

[ParalympicsGB @ParalympicsGB]

Hannah Cockroft says it’s time for #EqualPlay

Our athletes have been making the equals sign with their arms in Paris to urge the UK Government to act now to ensure that by LA 2028, no disabled child is left on the sidelines of school sport or PE.

@adamhillscomedy @TheLastLeg I will get a Deaflympic tattoo if you support @DeaflympicsGB and interview @NYDeafSwimmer and @deafsport but you have to get one too. It’s a cool symbol… I dare ya…

[Rebecca Foster MBE @Becs_Foster]

@ParalympicsGB @graceharvey767 @NBakerParaRider @AaronPhippsGBWR Might I suggest that PE teachers who want to be more inclusive in their lessons consider this quick and easy to use, informative guide to help them plan?

[Rebecca Foster MBE @Becs_Foster]

Might I suggest that PE teachers who want to improve how they can include disabled youngsters in practical sessions to look through this quick, easy and effective guide #equalplay

[ParalympicsGB @ParalympicsGB]

Only 1 in 4 disabled children say they take part in regular school sport and PE.

We’re calling on The UK Government to act now to ensure that by LA 2028 no child is left on the sidelines in the proud birthplace of the Paralympic movement.

[Rebecca Foster MBE @Becs_Foster]

@adamhillscomedy I dare you to have @NYDeafSwimmer on @TheLastLeg … you will love him and love what he has to say… go on, what have you got to lose? 😉

[Rebecca Foster MBE @Becs_Foster]

I think this would be a great platform for @NYDeafSwimmer . @TheLastLeg would you please consider this? It would help Deaflympians with their plight for equal funding.

[Stuart McLearie @MclearieStuart]

@C4Paralympics @RoseAylingEllis Great coverage, and good to see @RoseAylingEllis representing the deaf community so well.
I'm sure @NYDeafSwimmer would love the chance to speak on behalf of Deaf Athletes on C4 at some point.
An ideal guest for @TheLastLeg .

[DeaflympicsGB @DeaflympicsGB]

@C4Paralympics @RoseAylingEllis Thank you @C4Paralympics, yes we have definitely heard of the @deaflympics! 😀 Our games celebrate 100 years this year & was founded in 1924 in Paris.
