Global Accessibility Awareness Day
On #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay, accessibility is for everyone.
"Accessibility is a universal benefit rather than a narrow focus on catering to the needs of a specific group," says Dr. Carmen Lee, #ASCJ Clinical Communication Professor and Assistant Dean for Excellence in Teaching. "Creating inclusive and accessible environments, products, and services benefits everyone in society, regardless of their abilities or limitations. For instance, user-friendly technology can benefit older adults, implementing accessible features in physical spaces help those with temporary disabilities, and multilingual support with captions or translations can allow non-native speakers to access information easily."
