Disability Visibility

Fighting for inclusion and accessible spaces for people with hidden and visible disabilities.

[Disability Visibility @Left_Behind_Ire]

The disabled community is the largest minority community, in the world, that anyone can become a part of at any time.
This page is a community to fight for inclusion and will provide a dedicated online presence offering support and resources. 1/5

The new dished pedestrian crossing adjacent to the cycle parking on the @Luas citybound platform at @IrishRail #Heuston is progressing well. Not too long now until the pole with push button unit is installed. Will be very welcome by blind & partially sighted passengers. #luas

A universal problem. This time in Ireland. Young #disabled woman remains in care home because she can't get the personal support hours to live in her own house, which sits empty. #DisabilityTwitter https://t.co/xVKV4g7zej

This is Sinéad. Sinéad is a mother, a daughter, an artist, a friend, a sister, an aunt and much more... And she's sick. As we already discussed, the disabled community is the largest minority community that anyone can become a part of at any time with or without warning. 1/11

"My whole life has been loving things and losing them to my illness; not because of my illness but because of inaccessibility. I have limited energy levels, like a battery that starts each day on low. 1/8

"Growing up in the 90s, there wasn't a lot of visibility of people with disabilities. Going through "mainstream" education, I thought being an architect was the job for me. This was based solely on the idea that it was a job that required the use of my hands, and not my legs 1/7
