Happy Disability Pride Month
|
July is disability pride month. It was on the 26th July 1990 when the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) was passed. This was a pivotal milestone for disability rights.
|
Australia followed suit creating our Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) in 1992

Molly Burke
One of my favourite content creators Molly Burke is a disability, equity and inclusion advocate, speaker and content creator. I love seeing her content in my Facebook feed and getting a wider view of living with vision loss.

Inclusion Artist
Artist Ravyn of Soda Straw (exhibiting at Supanova Sydney) has created her own artwork including a very cute Kawaii mouse with rainbow hair in a rainbow wheelchair. I love finding inclusion and representation of people with disabilities in art, and this has to be the cutest!

Accessibility Tip
|
Did you know that on an Android phone you can set a high contrast keyboard? Whether you need it because you are in bright light or because you are reading late at night and you are tired.
|
|
You can get rid of the boring old black on white and have fun black on yellow.
