Glasses are absolutely a disability aid. One of the most common ones we have.

Why is this a thing I need to say out loud?

Not because destroying the ableist in your head is the only work to be done of course, but because it has been and remains important to me, in order to do that other work. Take care out there ❤️

It’s international day of people with disability. Sharing this illustration by @judykuo_ , which you can buy in their shop.

[Blind Citizens Australia @au_BCA]

Fewer than 1 in 14 of board level executives identify as a person with disability, according to study by Ernst and Young and The Valuable.

Of those, 1 in 5 do not feel comfortable disclosing their disability to colleagues.

As psychologists we know the 1st step 2 healing comes from your trauma being validated through acknowledgement. If this doesn’t happen trauma develops whole new dimensions & becomes magnified. The lack of trauma validation is there4 often more impactful than the trauma itself
