Did you know that Accessibility benefits everyone in our society.

That is correct. Email and Texting were initially developed for the Deaf community. Look at it today, most communicate through emails and texts both in business and personally.

What about Closed Captioning? Many whether they have a disability or not enjoy Closed Captioning/Subtitles while watching a movie.

The point is everyone benefits from an Accessible Society. The disabled Community needs to continue to push for a total Inclusive/Accessible Society.

With one voice we can effect change. #AWU #Accessibility
