I went networking without my mum today!

I go with her for moral support and I have a sensory processing #disability, but today I went alone for the first time.

I really enjoyed it. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly.

I even got some potential new clients and new business connections!

Why should you, as a non-disabled person, care about #disability?

Well…

- Because you’re not disabled YET.

- Because you know someone who is disabled!

- Because accessibility for disabilities benefit everyone.

We should strive to make the world more accessible.

That includes the online world.
Title: Why you should care about disability An icon of a stick figure in a wheelchair centred on the page. Below, the title reads “you can become disabled at any point in your life.” Underneath that, there is text reading “at any point in your life, you can become disabled. This can happen through accidents - such as a car accident - or through old age. You may also become disabled from a medical condition such as a brain tumour. There are thousands of ways someone could become disabled.” In the top left corner, there is a rainbow. In the bottom left, Ethereal Creative Design’s logo. In the right bottom corner there is a shooting star indicating the reader to swipe to the next slide. Title: “You know someone who is disabled.” Underneath this reads “an estimated 16 million people in the UK had a disability in 2022. This represents 24% of the population. That’s almost 1 in every 4 people. You will know someone who is visibly or invisibly disabled. An invisible disability is one you can’t see, such as autism.” Title: “Accessibility benefits everyone, even non-disabled people.” Underneath this reads “Regardless of whether you have a disability, a wide range of factors can mean that you benefit from accessibility. Think about watching something with subtitles because you need to keep quiet, or needing an elevator because you have heavy shopping bags or a pushchair. Everyone has unique needs, and accessibility helps everyone’s needs get met fairly.”
