I find it puzzling when people say to me life isn't fair to me because I have a #disability. I was never promised a fair or perfect life. I simply live the best life I have. I'm #grateful for my unfair imperfect life.

As a person with a #disability, I do not need to be 'fixed' or 'cured'. Simply, I need to be empowered and included to be engaged to live a full life. Technology and amazing humans have enabled me to achieve this. Thank you.

As a professional with a disability, I'm used to facing challenges head-on. When people say something will be "difficult" or "impossible," it’s hard for me to grasp the weight of that, because my daily life is already full of obstacles. 💪 #Disability #Resilience

There's been a lot of talk about Air Canada's handling of people with #disabilities and their mobility devices. However, I want to shine a light on the amazing ground crew at YVR . For the past 3 years, they have alleviated my travel anxiety at #YVR. Their attentive

We are incredibly grateful for the #disability community and organizations who have come through the lab in person or remotely. We continually learn about challenges that inspire us to design and tailor to address those challenges. Without the disability community there would be

When Accessibility Becomes an Obstacle Race This image—it speaks louder than words. A banner hangs high, "The Daily Paralympics Start." But look closer, really look. This is not a celebration of accessibility; it's a stark depiction of our everyday reality. An elevator marked

Well done Apple for not exploiting but rather tapping into the passion of sport. It's admirable how you see the value in marketing to people with disabilities as a sizeable market to go after. youtu.be/BPqir3EZolw?si… #Apple #Marketing #Inclusion

Designing for #accessibility does not come at the cost of creativity. Creativity is brought out when designing for accessibility. How creative are you? #Design #a11y #Product #Creative

"Special” needs? Let’s be honest—it’s just a polite way of saying “not included.” We label disabled people and their needs as "special" to feel better about a world that isn’t inclusive. It sounds like a compliment, but it’s a convenient way to dodge responsibility. The term

I feel incredibly lucky to celebrate 20 years of marriage with you. We've faced challenges that many couples may never experience, especially with my disability. Growing up, I was nervous about marriage, knowing my life expectancy might be shorter than most. But waking up beside
