The Internet is for everyone—yet too often, inaccessible websites, applications, and digital content prevent people with disabilities from fully accessing the opportunities the Internet has to offer.

On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, hear from our president and CEO, Sally Wentworth, about digital accessibility, what we’re doing, and how you can help ⬇️ https://t.co/wtQmApYXC5

👉 Today, as we observe the International Day of Persons with Disabilities under the theme “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress,” we celebrate a powerful milestone in inclusive digital learning.

🇧🇩 With support from the Internet Society Foundation’s SCILLS Program, the Access Bangladesh Foundation launched Bangladesh’s first fully accessible online Graphic Design course for youth with hearing and speech disabilities.

🌐 Now 15 young learners from across the country are gaining industry-ready digital design skills supported by real-time sign language interpretation, accessible learning materials, and inclusive teaching methods.

🧑‍💻 Their confidence is growing. Their creativity is emerging. And many are already taking on freelance design work.
