“There is so much that able-bodied people could learn from the wisdom that often comes with disability. But space needs to be made. Hands need to reach out. People need to be lifted up. The story of disabled success has never been a story about one solitary disabled person overcoming limitations—despite the fact that’s the narrative we so often read in the media. The narrative trajectory of a disabled person’s life is necessarily webbed. We are often only as strong as our friends and family make us, only as strong as our community, only as strong as the resources and privileges we have.” ― Alice Wong Author of Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-first Century, as well as Year or the Tiger. @disability_visibility (on Instagram) @vintageanchorbooks (on Instagram) #IDPD #InclusionMatters #DisabilityRights #EqualOpportunity #AccessibleWorld #CelebrateAbilities #disabilityvisibility #disabilityawareness #disabled #wheelchair #inclusion #wheelchairlife #accessibility #disabilityadvocate #disabilityrights #disabilityinclusion #disabilities #disabilitylife #diversity

Breaking Down Barriers: In our commitment to fostering disability inclusion, we recognise terminology can be a stumbling block for many employers. That's why we're launching a new series, 'Word of the Week', to demystify key terms. This week, we delve into the world of 'Disability.'
