Great work, Meijer! Also a good reminder that July is Disability Pride Month, which commemorates the July 1990 passage of the ADA and recognizes the achievements of the disability community, as well as their history, lived experiences, and struggles. 1 in 4 Americans live with some kind of disability. As a mom I am striving to raise a child that will embrace and not fear differences he encounters in others - including peers with disabilities. Here's a good article with age-appropriate tips for talking to young children about disabilities (including why it's appropriate to use the term disabled). https://lnkd.in/e-MW435E

"Some people have preconceived notions that individuals with disabilities can’t be as productive, efficient and creative as others in jobs, but given the chance to play to their strengths, and with the right support, they can bring a lot to the table.” 👷🏽 Meet Bryce, Coordinator Mobilisation at Nelson Point in Western Australia, who has always found ways to get things done despite being born with symbrachydactyly, a congenital condition that prevents a hand or foot from developing. ❤️ We value inclusion of all people and are committed to creating a workplace where people with visible and invisible disabilities can fully participate and thrive. 🎤 To progress this aspiration on a global scale, we are developing our first Disability Action Plan, hearing from voices like Bryce, to build a plan by, with and for people with disability. The plan is another step to encourage, recognise, and promote an active commitment to eliminating disability discrimination. #IDPwD2023 #DisabiltyActionPlan #inclusion

Bank of America earned a perfect 100/100 score on this year’s Disability Equality Index – for the 8th year in a row! The Index is a joint initiative from Disability:IN and American Association of People with Disabilities that measures adherence to leading disability inclusion practices.   It's an important reminder that it takes action to achieve more inclusive workplaces and communities. As we wrap up #DisabilityPrideMonth, I encourage everyone to consider ways they can continue to eliminate barriers, prioritize accessibility, and #ChooseToInclude.   #ADA34 https://lnkd.in/e8kViZFf

July is Disability Pride Month!   Having a disability, whether visible or not, does not mean you have less to offer.   For many disabled people, however, it does mean having to fight harder for the same opportunities as your non-disabled friends or colleagues.   This is a month to celebrate disabilities in all their colours to encourage positive change and conversation all year round.   Check out the below article from AccessAble for 6 ways in which you can make a difference: https://lnkd.in/eaWrGVwX   'There's no doubt that 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 to implement further equality legislation, tackle discrimination, narrow the employment gap and improve accessibility on a global scale. Everyone should have the right to earn, learn, be cared for and feel included and represented.'   #DisabilityPrideMonth #DEI #DisabilityAwareness #DiversityAndInclusion

In today's world, it's essential to ensure that our communities are inclusive and accessible for all. Disability inclusion is a crucial component of social impact and sustainable development. By embracing diversity and eliminating barriers, we can create an environment that enables people with disabilities to fully participate and contribute to society. Here are some thoughts on why we should champion disability inclusion: - Every person, regardless of ability, deserves equal opportunities and respect. - Disability is a part of the human experience and diversity, and we can all learn from each other's unique experiences and perspectives. - By removing barriers to inclusion, we create a society that values and celebrates diversity, and enables everyone to contribute their talents and skills. Companies and organizations have a vital role to play in promoting disability inclusion. Not only is it the ethical and socially responsible thing to do, but it can also lead to increased innovation, productivity, and profitability. Let's work together to promote disability inclusion and build a better world for all. 🌍👪 #unitednations  #socialimpact #MCN  United Nations Volunteers
