For #GAAD2025, I reflected on my accessibility journey and shared recent work improving keyboard navigation. I also shared helpful resources that have shaped my perspective. Accessibility is a journey, not a checkbox. Champion, not expert.

An A.I. digital rendering of seven toy-style blister packs styled like collectible action figures. The largest package on the left features a likeness of me labeled “ADHD Adult,” holding a hammer and fishing pole with accessories including a chicken, koi fish, and “How To” book. Surrounding it are five themed “expansion packs” labeled Japanese Watercolor, Woodworking, Gardening, Korean Cooking, and White Water Rafting. Each contains clay-style miniature tools and items representing that hobby. Text reads: “It’s okay to be me!” and the Global Accessibility Awareness Day logo.
Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day #GAAD2025 —a day that means a lot to me, both professionally and personally.
Here is a playful reminder that our identities don’t come with a manual or warnings —but maybe they should come with expansion packs.

Global Accessibility Awareness Day Celebration
🎉 We wrapped a powerful #GAAD2025 session with Abbey Perini & Mirela Prifti!
💬 “Accessibility isn’t a feature - it’s a necessity.”
From labels to screen readers, inclusive design helps everyone.
🌐 Let’s continue designing and building for everyone.
#A11y #InclusiveDesign
Access is a basic right, not a favor or checklist. Social workers must create inclusive spaces for disabled people from the start. On #GlobalAccessibilityAwareness Day, we urge colleagues to pause, reflect, and act. #GAAD2025 #DisabilityJustice #NASW #SocialWorkForAccess
#GAAD2025 be aware to add Alt Text to images
Neurodivergence is not a deficit.
It’s difference.
And when workplaces design for difference, everyone wins.
