It had me thinking🤔🤔
When you think about accessibility, what comes to your mind?
We see signs and posters such as the one below to indicate if the space is accessible. But what truly is accessibility?
Have you ever left your home worrying about how you were going to navigate your way to your destination, or how you would be able to communicate with the people you are going to meet?
Of course, these scenarios can be true for people in a foreign place but imagine feeling foreign in your place?
Accessibility is making sure that every activity that we do can accommodate people with disabilities. It can be making a brail copy or an audio version of a book for someone who is visually impaired or making an accessibility ramp for someone who is wheelchair bound.
In this era of technology, we must make sure that people with disabilities are not left out in tech. It can be as simple as putting picture descriptions on websites or even your work or school documents that contain picture so that someone who is visually impaired can also know what the picture entails.
Accessibility should not be an action that is foreign to us but instead each one of us has a responsibility to society to make our spaces more accessible.
