From a county housing the nation’s 4th-largest city to a rural Great Plains community with a large immigrant population, we hope to understand how a community’s past may affect its present as they respond to challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/4nC7oBmClu

.@VictorDzau and @DrRichBesser talk about the importance of disaggregating COVID data so communities can examine data by race, ethnicity, gender, disability, income, or neighborhood. https://t.co/mCe8fzxS1L

#Leadership Best traits of remote leaders? Being organized, dependable and productive vs. confidence & extroversion that moved workers into exec suites. Those doing the work to get projects done vs most dynamic voices in the room do best. #LIWP @APA

I also recommend that we all stop scrolling through Twitter right now, put our devices away and take a walk outside! #disconnect #nature

Disabled people sparked many of the technologies we use today, from keyboards to email. #Disability drives innovation. Love does, too, if you find the strength to overcome #ableism. This @Time video has captions & a descriptive transcript. #TIME100Talks https://t.co/GchSHyID7W

[Gallaudet University @GallaudetU]

Another way to build inclusion into practice is to ensure we conduct and write our science/research in a bias-free manner. APA's Committee on Disability Issues in Psychology recently contributed a guide for bias-free language in writing:https://t.co/geIEhT0CgL @APAPublicInt

Today we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. As we acknowledge the accomplishments of the legislation, we must also continue to identify opportunities to build inclusion in all segments of society(e.g., healthcare, education, workforce).

[Maggie Butler, PhD, CRC @DrMaggieButler]

One way to build inclusion into your organization is by adopting the principles of universal design. Review APA's Resolution for Support of Universal Design and Accessibility in Education, Training, and Practice:https://t.co/q7PAyuhjmW
