Today we celebrate International Day of People with Disability. This day is all about promoting understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a more inclusive community where everyone can thrive.
Inclusion benefits everyone—because when we design spaces, resources, and opportunities for all, we create a stronger, more connected learning environment.
Not all disabilities are visible—many are invisible, and they can affect people in ways we might not immediately see. The wordcloud below highlights just some of the diverse invisible disabilities that exist.
