Why do people with #disability in Australia have a 43% higher rate of #selfemployment & #entrepreneurship than the nondisabled? Read our article exploring the phenomenon - #Entrepreneurs with disability: Australian insights through a social ecology lens https://t.co/EdviOpNFkN

Paris is adding another page to Paralympic history but what will its legacy be?

Great to work with David Legg, Tracey Dickson & Barbara Almond on our 2 cents worth

@pdhowe9 Yep was there last year for RWC 2023 & one reason why I'm not there for the big event! Loved Lyon though.

A really important paper on the experiences of disabled spectators at English football. Well done @Connor_Penfold!

Everyone in Oz please take note of @drkerrynphelps sensible suggestions in the face of significantly increasing COVID, flu, RSV & whooping cough that is rampant at the moment. Do it for yourself, your loved ones & your colleagues not to mention vulnerable children and adults.

[Dr Kerryn Phelps AM @drkerrynphelps]

Here’s a thought!
Introduce public health measures!
Isolate when sick!?
Work from home where possible, mask if you have to go out.
Masks in healthcare and public transport?
Clean air initiatives in schools and public buildings!?
Just. Do. Something.

[Dougie Herd @dougie_herd]

No surprise @FinancialReview is at it again. They detest #NDIS because it's part of the modern world where we meet & pay for need. I agree with @billshortenmp "The alternative to having the scheme is to go back to what existed beforehand, and that was a disaster." #auspol.

@JBarraket I started with a few short trips to Brisbane and then the Gold Coast before going OS for the first time again again.P

[Prof Simon Darcy @simon_darcy]

@JBarraket I call it travel fit… Not sure where I first heard it?particularly travelling with a power chair requires mental skills to deal with any prevailing hostile attitude at the check-in desk!

This is an important study for the hospitality industry in that it moves beyond physical access to include food preparation for people with swallowing or other impairments where food texture is an essential ingredient of dining out @UTSDisability @UTSSocialImpact @UTS_Business

[Taylor&Francis News @tandfnewsroom]

Eating out is still isolating for people with disabilities, finds @DisabilityRehab study.

@BronwynHemsley say more needs to be done to improve and enhance the dining experience for people with disabilities like improved training for hospitality staff
