Hi @CityWestminster these tall kerbs at Eaton Mews South make it impossible for a wheelchair user to progress along the pavement. I've been asking you for years to add kerb drops here. The pavements are for everyone! Please add kerb drops here!

Happy International Wheelchair Day! (which I have just learned is a thing - thank you Twitter!)

My wheelchair does not mean that I am bound or confined. My wheelchair means I'm free.

Take a look at this link: https://t.co/D3C33T859Q Yannis Vardakastanis, EDF President, said “We want passengers with disabilities to be able to ‘turn up and go’ and catch a train when they want to” can we take Gov to court on this.

@PaulineCastres I have Spinal cord injury & had the same issue. But, because of that, I achieved 'First class' both in Bachelor & Master degree. When you stop thinking about other people & work only for yourself, you will feel more pleasure than pressure! Just change the point of view!

@Sblahov Almost the same story!! After my spinal cord injury doctor told, I will maximum able to seat & move on wheelchair. But I started to travel the world with my 2 canes & both paralyzed legs. I know that 'look' & most of them are not ready to take a disabled person as a traveler.

[Leigh Day Healthcare @LeighDayHealth]

This is a wonderful read @backuptrust - it is great to see all the help you have provided for people with #SpinalCordInjury

[Ben Andrews @BenAndrewsINC]

Disabled people don’t ‘overcome their disability’.

When disabled people succeed, what they overcome are societal barriers.

Important to acknowledge and reframe in this way if we are to shift perceptions and raise awareness of what really disables people 🚫 🌎

Do you know what Braille is? It is a tactile writing system of raised dots that can be read using fingers instead of eyes! It’s like a code can be written and read without sight, ideal for people who are blind or have low vision. https://t.co/wOsruVjjFC
