#Disability as a market. Where @richdonovannyc speaks to me (implicitly) about why notions of inclusion aren’t the main reason to pay attention. And says explicitly that’s it’s bc there’s a clear economic rationale. Replug this #IDPD2020 blogs.worldbank.org/sustainablecit…

RoD Group releases 2020 Annual Report: The Global Economics of Disability. In shift away from regulation, report focuses on how people experience products and services. Insights from #disability inform core design and process for outsized returns. rod-group.com/content/rod-re…
I talk #design for #delight from #disability - constantly. This is what it looks like. This is me, getting a haircut on a sidewalk in Toronto. @FrancescaSalSpa brought Rico to me, so I didn't need to touch stuff. Delight is usually service driven. I am delighted.
I spent the last week reading Rich Donovan's book #UnleashDifferent, and I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you. linkedin.com/posts/jennifer… Thanks to Rich, I've started to think differently about my approach to #accessibility and encourage you all to read it as well!
Thank you @richdonovannyc - so engaging and insightful - the delight of end users w disabilities must be valued
