Tonight, we are unpacking what truly inclusive workplaces look like, responsibilities employers have in creating accessible work environments, and how policy commitments can be translated into meaningdil action. Listen here: xitter.cf/i/spaces/1dJrPPAMAonKX
To build an inclusive world, we must distinguish between impairment and disability.
* Impairment (The Body): A medical or biological reality, like vision loss or being a wheelchair user.
* Disability (The Barrier): This occurs when an environment is poorly designed.
Disability isn't a deficit but a mismatch with an inaccessible world. We're disabled by barriers, not bodies. Inclusion means dismantling those walls.
