People with disabilities face barriers and challenges every day, and the more awareness, understanding and conversations we have, the closer we get to a world that is informed, inclusive and supportive for everyone.💜🧡

#IDPwD #DisabilityInclusion #InternationalDayOfPeopleWithDisability #HiAlert

If you advocate, stand up for disability rights and work to make the world better for people with disabilities- Thank You. Every bit you do matters, and you truly make a real difference.

People who live with disabilities have value, have the right to be treated with dignity, have the right to safety, to access, to autonomy and to opportunities and supports that allow them to live their lives.

This day is to highlight the inclusion and rights of people with disabilities across all areas of life and to raise awareness of their contributions and achievements.

We value sharing our knowledge on self-advocacy, which is very important for people living with health conditions and disabilities. If you’d like us to speak at your event or organisation, please send us a message.

#HiAlert #AppTips #AddingText #Type #VoiceToText #Paste #Assistance #HealthConditions #Disabilities

• Paste- If you’ve already written your details on your phone (for example, in notes, email, or somewhere else), you can copy and paste them into the text fields.
• Have someone assist you- You can have a friend, family member, or support person you trust to help you add your details.

You can add your details in these ways:
• Type- Use your phone's keyboard to type details into the text fields.
• Voice input- Use voice-to-text (dictation) to speak your details directly into the text fields instead of typing.

If you advocate for yourself or as part of a group, thank you for raising awareness, driving change, and empowering others. Keep going - every action and effort matters and makes a real difference.❤
