International Day of People with a Disability

Today is International Day of People with a Disability  http://www.idpwd.com.au/

What have you done today to make your business or community more accessible for people with a disablity?

What does your Strategic Plan say about the value you place on ensuring people with a disability have equal access to interact with your business or community? Think about people who use other forms of communication besides speech.... what about the many people who do not have functional literacy....

 

Today you should also sign the petition for the International Communication Project 2014, which is being developed to present to the UN.
