Join us on Thursday, May 16, 2024, as we celebrate the 13th Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)! 🌍✨ GAAD aims to spark conversations and raise awareness about digital access and inclusion for over One Billion people with disabilities. It’s a call to action to ensure accessibility is a core requirement in technology and digital product development. Digital accessibility means empowering people with disabilities to independently interact with digital applications and content. Sadly, from both a civil rights and business perspective, they are often underserved by today’s digital products. Let’s work together to make a change! Common disabilities/impairments include: - Visual - Hearing - Motor - Cognitive #GAAD2024 #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay #DigitalInclusion #AccessibilityMatters #TechForAll

Today is Global Accessibility Day, a day to understand how we can create an environment that is accessible for everyone. Did you know that 1 billion people worldwide are living with a disability, yet most companies are creating barriers for their potential customers to serve their needs? It's time to change that. This is a topic near and dear to my heart, since I learned I was hearing impaired nearly a decade ago. Take some time today to learn about what you and your company can do to make your workplace, products, content and customer experiences more accessible for people with disabilities. Find events near you and learn more about why accessibility is important at the GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day) Foundation site. Let's work together to help people with disabilities consume and interact with digital applications and content. #gaad #accessibility #disabilityinclusion

May 18th was Global #Accessibility Awareness Day—but, to quote the GAAD homepage below, "it doesn't need to end there." This observance spotlights digital accessibility: the guarantee that people with disabilities can use and experience digital content and products with the same success as those without disabilities. This type of accessibility is a crucial component of the overall picture of access and inclusion for all, particularly in today's increasingly virtual world. You can learn more about digital accessibility and find resources to assist in facilitating it on the GAAD website linked in this post. #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay

When you think we couldn't do the same work as usual. We did it. The misconception of disability needs to sort out in all sphere of life. To break this barrier the whole world will celebrate the global accessibility awareness day (GAAD) on 16th May 2024. "The purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital (web, software, mobile, etc.) access or inclusion and people with different disabilities. In the eve of GAAD I believe everyone would think this is an opportunity to look forward, and determine how we can each play a role to make the world, more inclusive for those living with a disability.

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day! Having juvenile macular degeneration, I can attest to the frustration and sometimes despair of being in workspaces that are ill-equipped to support employees with visual disabilities.
