#Disability as a market.

Where @richdonovannyc speaks to me (implicitly) about why notions of inclusion aren’t the main reason to pay attention. And says explicitly that’s it’s bc there’s a clear economic rationale. Replug this #IDPD2020 https://t.co/jQvPzurdZD

"When modeling for disability functionality, the desired outcome is not PWD 'accessibility.' The goal is core customer delight. The model is a tool to achieve the goal." 👏

Great report from @richdonovannyc about the economics of disability. Check it out:

[Rich Donovan @UnleashDiff]

RoD Group releases 2020 Annual Report: The Global Economics of Disability. In shift away from regulation, report focuses on how people experience products and services. Insights from #disability inform core design and process for outsized returns.

@Jonathan_Ufi @A11yAlicia @FrancescaSalSpa Lots of opportunity with alt text. Folks should leverage it more in marketing.

[Rich Donovan @UnleashDiff]

I talk #design for #delight from #disability - constantly. This is what it looks like. This is me, getting a haircut on a sidewalk in Toronto. @FrancescaSalSpa brought Rico to me, so I didn't need to touch stuff. Delight is usually service driven. I am delighted.

I've asked for termination of all involved in the "draft" and a clear statement that any medical professional that takes disability as a factor in medical rationing lose their license to practice.

@SteffMarinich @msikanda4a @LivMendelsohn @ozdisabilityco @djnontario @DAWNRAFHCanada @AccessibleMedia @tabunarak @NEWSTALK1010 @MD_Canada @kristynwongtam @MooreintheAM @tagactiongroup @johnyhansome @ARCHDisability Thank you all for your leadership here. It has moved me to reach out to the Minister's staff, requesting a clarification that disability is not to be considered as grounds for medical rationing. I've asked for this statement by COB April 17.

[Jennifer Cowan @jcowan_a11y]

I spent the last week reading Rich Donovan's book #UnleashDifferent, and I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you.

Thanks to Rich, I've started to think differently about my approach to #accessibility and encourage you all to read it as well!

Thank you @richdonovannyc - so engaging and insightful - the delight of end users w disabilities must be valued

[TRIEC @TRIEC]

.@richdonovannyc of the Return On Diversity Group says 8 million Canadians have disabilities. But everyone benefits from innovations and insights derived from disability.
