As the anniversary week of #ADA30 winds down we naturally pivot to ...what comes next❓My take..

1. Understanding the spending power of the disability market 💵and the business rationale for being inclusive

2. Understanding that inclusive design opens up the environment for everyone and everybody, saves costs, and makes it a “we” issue rather than “us and them” issue – best examples: curb cuts, closed captioning

3. Expanding the narrative around who belongs to this community. Disability is inclusive of individuals w/ physical, sensory, communication, and intellectual disability as well as mental health and chronic health conditions.. 1 billion people 🌎#ADA30

4. Encouraging all individuals and groups who focus on equity across society to see their work from a disability lens – disadvantages due to disability, gender, race, and immigrant status are highly intersectional. We are stronger together.
