Public building accessibility and designated parking—removing physical barriers that can impact anyone at any time—about 1 in 4 adults lives with a disability and everyone ages
Public transportation—rider info available in braille, large print, e-format, lifts and ramps allowing time to board and exit allowing as well service animals
Workplace rights—prohibiting job discrimination requiring employers to make reasonable accommodations which are usually less than $200
The media and communications must relay services and closed captioning
People with disabilities are great problem solvers—every day they navigate a world that doesn’t always have them top of mind—we can all work together to be inclusive and make reasonable accommodations for people
Accessibility is about belonging and contributing---
Common ground IS MORE prevalent than differences—
