Possessing the right skills for the market is the key to employment. But what are these right skills and how to acquire them?

#Disability as a market.
Where @richdonovannyc speaks to me (implicitly) about why notions of inclusion aren’t the main reason to pay attention. And says explicitly that’s it’s bc there’s a clear economic rationale. Replug this #IDPD2020 blogs.worldbank.org/sustaina…

"When modeling for disability functionality, the desired outcome is not PWD 'accessibility.' The goal is core customer delight. The model is a tool to achieve the goal." 👏
Great report from @richdonovannyc about the economics of disability. Check it out:
Excellent timing. We released new analysis four weeks ago based on 2018 CDC data. The new report can be found here - (SPOILER ALERT: the new number is 73% of consumers are directly touched by disability.)

I talk #design for #delight from #disability - constantly. This is what it looks like. This is me, getting a haircut on a sidewalk in Toronto. @FrancescaSalSpa brought Rico to me, so I didn't need to touch stuff. Delight is usually service driven. I am delighted.

I spent the last week reading Rich Donovan's book #UnleashDifferent, and I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you.

Thanks to Rich, I've started to think differently about my approach to #accessibility and encourage you all to read it as well!
