October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month—a time to recognize the valuable contributions of employees with disabilities and highlight the importance of inclusive workplaces. Workers with disabilities bring unique perspectives, skills, and experiences to the workforce. It’s time to celebrate their talent, innovation, and resilience. An inclusive workforce strengthens creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. When everyone has a seat at the table, businesses thrive, and communities grow. This month, let’s amplify the message: Employment opportunities for people with disabilities create stronger, more diverse workplaces. #mobilitymonday #mobilityaid #mobilitydog #mobilitymatters #mobilitydesign #intelligentmobility #mobilityassistantdog #accessibilityforall #accessibilitymatters #accessibilityawareness #accessibilitydesign #innovationdesign #innovationliving #innovationforeveryone ALT TEXT: A cartoon of a woman reading braille at her desk

It's a common misconception that people who are blind or have low vision only see black. In reality, personal experiences vary greatly. Some people may see light, shadows, or blurry shapes, while others experience tunnel vision, color distortion, or even peripheral vision loss. Each person's experience is unique—blindness isn’t always a complete absence of sight. Understanding these differences is key to creating a more inclusive and empathetic world for the blind and low-vision community. 👁️ #WorldSightDay #BlindCommunity #LowVision #BlindAwareness #Accessibility #Inclusion #BlindAndProud #AssistiveTech #Blindness #GuideDog #BlindLife #InclusiveDesign #DigitalAccessibility #Braille #SeeingDifferently #BlindIndependence #VoiceOver #SightLoss #ScreenReader #BlindCreativity #AccessibleTech #DeafBlind #BlindAdvocacy #InclusiveEducation #BlindCulture #BlindInspiration
