Over 1.3 billion people worldwide (16% of the population) live with significant disabilities. But the challenges they face are not just from health conditions like cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or depression. Environmental barriers, such as inaccessible infrastructure and societal attitudes, often limit their potential.  This International Day of Persons with Disabilities, AISID is renewing its commitment to advocating for inclusion and accessibility.  Together, we can break barriers by:   - Creating inclusive policies   - Building accessible infrastructure   - Changing negative societal attitudes  Let’s work towards a future where inclusion is the norm. Join the movement and be part of the change! #DisabilityInclusion #BreakBarriers #AccessibilityForAll #InclusionMatters #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities #AISID #EmpowerAll

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) Day. The theme for this year is "Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future." This theme recognizes the important role that persons with disabilities play in creating a more inclusive and sustainable world for all. By adopting the colour purple during this day, individuals and organisations show their commitment to promoting inclusivity and equality for disabled people. Although Autism is not a learning disability, it is estimated that about 50% of people with autism may also have a learning disability. A learning disability is a neurological condition that affects a person’s ability to process, understand, or retain information, which can make it challenging for them to learn new things or perform certain tasks.

Today marks International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD), a day that calls on all of us to reflect, celebrate, and take action toward greater inclusion and accessibility. At Lusio Rehab, our mission aligns closely with the goals of IDPwD. We are committed to breaking down barriers—physical, technological, and attitudinal—through innovative therapy solutions like LusioMATE. Every day, we strive to empower individuals to find freedom through movement and live their fullest lives. This year’s theme encourages us all to think about how we can create a more inclusive society. For the 5.5 million people with disabilities in Australia and countless more worldwide, this isn’t just an ideal; it’s a necessity. We’re proud to work alongside so many incredible individuals, families, and organizations who share this vision. Together, we can build a world that values diversity, prioritizes accessibility, and celebrates everyone’s unique abilities.

Disability is NOT a barrier; discrimination IS. Being disabled doesn’t mean being unable. People with disabilities possess just as much potential, creativity, and determination to achieve their dreams as anyone else. The true challenge lies in breaking down the barriers of prejudice, stereotypes, and exclusion they face every day. Let’s create a world where opportunities are inclusive, where accessibility is a priority, and where every individual, regardless of ability, is valued for their talents and contributions. Together, we can shatter misconceptions and build a society where everyone can thrive. #DisabilityIsNotInability #InclusionMatters #EqualOpportunities #BreakTheBarriers
