For many people with disabilities, disability is a part of their Identity & not something to be "overcome".
It's time the non-disabled Understand, Accept (unfathomable as it might be) & Practice this.

This cannot be emphasised enough.

Products/services are used by people. People have a range of abilities and needs. So, make sure your products/services are usable for everyone, and just accessible as per WCAG!

As a disabled person, I will never dignify the question:”What’s wrong with you.”

Nothing is wrong with disabled people.

@ThinkChangeIND @HRDMinistry @DrRPNishank @mygovindia @PMOIndia @ncpedp_india @SunaayyF The silence on access to higher studies for students with disabilities is alarming and potentially overlooks the impact of school education on higher education opportunities.

As part of my Masters in Service Design, I’m working with @DCCbeta to understand the needs and wants of non-standard cyclists with disabilities. Would anyone who uses these cycles be interested in a socially distant cycle in Dublin, where we could learn more? Please let me know!

[Ruchi Palan @ruchipalan]

@kate_doody @DCCbeta Great project! Will spread the word!

[Ruchi Palan @ruchipalan]

@oluoluoxenfree Sure.

[Ruchi Palan @ruchipalan]

@oluoluoxenfree @accessibleweb If you're looking for a researcher to collaborate with, let's talk.

[Ruchi Palan @ruchipalan]

@SJOGLiffey @AlanJamesBurns @artscouncil_ie @CreateIreland @SarahGBoland this looks fantastic! Where can I find more details about this project?
