Access and Inclusion Awareness Committee Presents: Tip of the Week

January 28, 2025

Access & Inclusion Tips of the Week
Every Tuesday, we drop a little wisdom on how to make the world more accessible for everyone. Whether you’re a newbie or an accessibility aficionado, our Access and Inclusion Awareness Committee has you covered with tips, tricks, and the occasional nudge to get your wheels turning. Because accessibility isn’t just a box to check—it’s a mindset, a culture, and, let's face it, the right thing to do. Tune in every Tuesday and let’s make inclusion the new normal. Don’t worry—we promise no boring jargon. Just practical, punchy, and (dare we say?) fun advice!

Also, ask about it internally where you work and attend school. Don't leave this to just your disabled colleagues to take on.

This can help people with invisible, visible and temporary disabilities.

You can find all of the tips on the Access and Inclusion Advisory Committee webpage.
