Thursday at UCL Knowledge Lab’s 3pm meeting I will be giving a talk on making talks (and classes) more accessible for people with disabilities. Slides can be found here: https://t.co/6zIGJO91V1 #UCL #IoE #uclknowledgelab

Many Enable members love "the spoon theory" metaphor of stamina issues due to disability. How many spoons do you have left when you get to work? Do you find yourself debating what to do with that last spoon of the day? Dinner? Play with the cat? Tidy? Make lunch for tomorrow?

This #UKDHM learn about the Spoons Theory https://t.co/9rMr9oCsd4 - a metaphor used by many #Disabled people to reference energy levels throughout the day. @UCLcares @DSN_UCL @UCLEnable #inclusion #diversity #Disability #DisabilityHistoryMonth

93% of disabled people don't use a wheelchair. Many health related disabilities are acquired "during working age"

Congrats to the UCL staff who wrote this great book on Abelism in Academia.

[Dr Amanda Bates @DrAmandaBates]

Looking forward to today’s #AbleismInAcademia book launch at @UniKent @DrSchniff @FibroIdentity @AbleismAcademia - fortunate to already have a copy!

Only 4% declare of UCL (versus 19% in the working pop) declare disability, impairment, physical/mental health condition and/or are neurodivergent. It is hard to support folks who are not declared. You can declare in MyHR. Even if you don't want to join Enable and talk to us!

Did you know? Only 4% (UK working age pop - 19%) of @UCL employees share they have a disability, impairment, physical/mental health condition or are neurodivergent. This data is used to track #disabilityequality progress - low declarations compromise this #UKDHM @UCLEnable

[Enable@UCL @UCLEnable]

Remember neurodivergent employee can have Workplace Needs Assessment at UCL.

[UCL Equality, Diversity & Inclusion @UCLEqualities]
