Celebrating Global Accessibility Awareness Day: A Call for Inclusivity and Equal Access
Celebrating Global Accessibility Awareness Day
The American Council of the Blind (ACB) enthusiastically acknowledges Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), a vital occasion that encourages global collective action towards enhancing accessibility for individuals with disabilities. This year's celebration emphasizes a profound truth: inclusive design and ensuring equal access are fundamental to the integration and participation of people who are blind, DeafBlind, and have low vision within various life domains, ranging from employment to education and civic responsibilities.
GAAD serves as a compelling reminder that the journey towards full inclusion is ongoing and requires commitment from all sectors of society. On this day, ACB urges industry leaders, software developers, and policymakers to prioritize accessibility not just on this day, but consistently moving forward.
