For children with disabilities, early identification and skilled support in the first 5 years of life can transform their lives. @theirworld and @PerkinsVision show how the Act For Early Years campaign gives every child access to the support they need. g.pe/lkto50XLBuU

One message rang clear at yesterday's #UNGA side event hosted by @PerkinsVision + Lever for Change on disability-inclusive education. 👉 We must do more to support every child to learn with dignity. Let's mobilize action to make this 👆 a reality!

“The sky belongs to everyone. And if this event is available to the rest of the world, it has to be available for the #Blind, too... I want students to be able to hear the #Eclipse, to hear the stars.” #EqualAccess buff.ly/4cFHsPe

This weekend I mentored student teams at #HackDisability organised by @PerkinsVision at @MITCSAIL as part of @McKinsey. One key thing I suggested participants was to think about how they can bring their solution to the market, and how will they make $$$
