@Specsavers I'd love to wear them but it appears specsavers can't accommodate wheelchair users as easily as the advert claims

Colleague:”When I see you, I don’t see you as disabled.”

If you don’t see the disability, you don’t see me.

There’s nothing wrong with disabled people.

Disability invisibility is devaluation.

It's International Day of Persons with Disabilities

#Disability is part of the human experience.
Over 1B people, ~15% of the 🌍's population, live with a disability. Almost everyone will be temporarily or permanently impaired at some point in life.
