A forum in Manchester bringing Gov, companies and other orgs together to discuss issues surrounding disability in the workplace & connect & share best practice.

@AXSChat Building an internal team of advocates you bring together regularly to chat about changes and wins, allows a business to have a wide-spread team of 'drum bangers' continually reminding all corners of the business about where to find information on the topic & its importance.

@NeilMilliken How many users do you want to deliberately lose? Why would you pay so much for a product just to go out of your way to make it unusable.

@SamanthaRenke Seems to be one of the cruel facts of life, it goes by faster as you get older. Just when you want to take more time doing things, time wants to speed things up.

@joelvsarthritis Very sensible advice in this video. Thanks for sharing.

@soniasodha @Gatwick_Airport Appalling on so many levels. No matter who was "responsible" you would hope there would be enough caring humans around to kick up a fuss and get someone on that plane to assist. Write official complaints, shout about it on social media, raise the profile of each of these cases.

@AkwyZ @AXSChat @NeilMilliken @CyrilCoste @sarbjeetjohal @leimer @psb_dc @EvanKirstel @fwest34 @WSWMUC @MeghanMBiro @CyndyTrivella Mentoring programs that show "with age comes wisdom" helps to grow respect. And the learning goes both ways, as new brains bring new ideas. Mix them up more often and help them both learn from each other.

@autisticdaydre1 @Sara_Rose_G Was explaining to others that are not autistic and who follow ManchesterAbility. Not trying to explain to Sara. I guess that is the confusion when you respond on a group area with multiple followers.

[ManchesterAbility @ManchesterAbil1]

@baffled_hacker @Sara_Rose_G I was trying to say we all have personal preferences and labels we may or may not apply to ourselves. Never the intention to upset or be rude.

@CarrieALightley Many of our colleagues with disabilities have a comfortable environment at home that they can work in. Of course, just as many are itching to get back to the office as they don't have the wherewithal at home to make it work. AT helps but is not always enough. #DifferentStrokes
