Dec 3 2025 was the annual International Day of People with a Disability aka #CripChristmas #IDPWD
I completely forgot.
So did everyone else.
So it was international every day.

Hon Sir Stephen Timms MP Minister for Social Security and Disability, contributions by Co-Chair BSL Advisory Board Craig Crowley and Disability Charities Consortium co-chairs following!

On a light blue background, text reads: "The way to better health? Bringing health services home for kids with disabilities." The PATH logo is visible in the bottom right, overlaid on a photo of a young child laughing and playing with a parent outdoors.
In #Mozambique, most children w/ developmental delays go undetected. We partnered with a local nonprofit to bring care home—training volunteers, supporting families & improving detection.
Community-based care can transform outcomes for children with disabilities.

Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Our voices belong in every room where decisions are made. Lived experience should shape policy, and representation matters.
That's one of the reasons I'm running for Congress.

The #evaluation of the Integrated Early Childhood Development Programme in #Palestine shows its relevance, effectiveness, & sustainability. It addresses the needs of children with disabilities, promoting equity & collaboration. Gaps remain between policy & implementation. tinyurl.com/npxp2k5a #IDPwD
Children living with disabilities are often invisible in evaluations. #UNICEF’s guideline sets the standard for inclusion—using adapted tools, participatory methods, disability-disaggregated data & accessible reports. Inclusive #evaluations shape programs for ALL. 🔗 bit.ly/UNDIS #IDPwD

A graphic of a diverse group of people with disabilities with various skin tones, body types, and mobility disabilities, marching in front of a world globe. Many have their fists raised and carry orange protest-style flags. The text above them reads “International Day of Persons with Disabilities,” and the DREDF logo appears in the top right corner. The overall tone is celebratory and empowering.
On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we celebrate disabled communities and reaffirm that disability rights are human rights.
DREDF is honored to work alongside advocates, families, and partners to defend and advance disability civil and human rights across the nation.

1.3 Billion #disabled people. Still no official seat at the #climate table. At #COP30, activists called out inaccessible warnings, missing sign language, and empty seats where disabled leaders should have been. #IDPWD #IDPD earth.org/disability-a...
Happy #InternationalDayofdisabledpeople! I wrote a post about areas where #accessibility still needs to improve #disability #disabled #IDPwD

Black text on a white box reads: Did you know that over 1 billion people worldwide experience significant disability? That’s nearly 1 in 6 people globally. This makes people with disabilities the world’s largest minority group. The white box is centered on a background of swirled ribbons of yellow, blue, and purple, with the Inclusive Pixelation rainbow heart logo in the lower right corner.

Interesting that a washroom is gender neutral, but not fully accessible. I think the folks that built it didn't think it through.
Any gender can use it, and if you are limited mobility, you have grab bars. But it doesn't meet requirements for wheelchair. Think about it.... #idpwd
