Evolving Language for Equality Just like the R-word, it’s time to discuss how euphemisms like “special needs,” “special education,” and “special” more broadly harm the fight for disability rights, equality, and justice. 👉 Visit StopSpecial.org to learn more about our effort, access tools and resources, and Take the Pledge to help spread the word! #StopSpecial #DisabilityRights #EqualityForAll https://stopspecial.org/

Lastly, some more important ways to be more inclusive and create a world where diversity is celebrated and valued. 1. Support Inclusive Initiatives - Involves actively participating in and promoting events or programs that advocate for disability rights. 2. Embrace Accessibility - Ensuring that physical spaces, digital content, and communication methods are accessible to all. #BusinessInclusionAndDiversityServicesACT #BeInclusive #SupportInclusiveInitatives #EmbraceAccessibility Australian Federation of Disability Organisations (AFDO) Business Inclusion and Diversity Services (BIDS) - ACT

It takes small but conscious, consistent efforts over a period of time for an organisation to become truly inclusive. It is a combined outcome of leadership vision, changing mindsets, physical and technical interventions brought to life by many champions and allies of the cause. I was amazed to experience a few of these myself when I joined Accenture a month ago. Here are some highlights that touched me: 1. Lift buttons in the office premises in Braille 2. Posters with important messages and call outs at each desk in Braille 3. Accessible washrooms in the office. (Well as an architect, I do have a pov that all washrooms should be designed to make universally accessible to make it truly inclusive, rather than having a separate one, but yes every step matters and this one is big!) 4. Last and the most amazing was to see an instructor in sign language (ASL) along with the main trainer during a company-wide workshop to ensure that the training is inclusive for all participants. #Inclusion #Diversity #Accessibility #Leadership #InclusiveWorkplace
