International Disabled Author’s Day is celebrated on October 2nd to honor the accomplishments, creativity, and hard work of published authors with disabilities. It’s a day to raise awareness of the importance of diversity and inclusion of disabled people in literature. (If you missed Disability Book Week in April, here’s your chance to celebrate in October!)
Exciting news! The A11yBook is on the A11yShop!
I’m overwhelmed by the success of the A11yShop so far! So I’ve decided it would be better for my own systems and inventory management to have my book available through the same store. That means I’ve shut down the old shopping cart that was active on this site from book launch until now. Any new orders placed will be fulfilled through the new system.
The Inclusive Speaker by Denis Boudreau has been on my radar for a bit, and I got to finally finish up reading on my flight back from New Orleans last weekend.
I have to start by saying, I really wanted to be able to recommend this book. I went in with the highest of hopes, imagining myself sharing this book with my speaker’s community and creating a wave of more disability-inclusive speakers. Since I speak on accessibility and disability inclusion, other speakers often ask me what they can do better to reach these audience members. This book has some good wisdom, but is in other places… problematic.

And the best part? I’m one of their executive trainers! I’m thrilled to be the team’s expert on accessibility and disability inclusion.
Recently, I was invited to host a webinar on Accessibility & Disability Inclusive Workplaces. We packed so much great information into one short hour, and I wanted to share this recap to provide some additional resources.
