Innovations and Equality
This post is part of International Day for Persons with Disabilities (click for masterpost)
What innovations are helping with equality?
Are there any that you would like to see be implemented?
These can be technology related, but methods of doing things, services, etc. can also be innovative!

Some stores have low stimulation practices now - no music or announcements over a PA, low or no lighting.
That's nice to see.

@Dallady I’ve been in places like that, it’s super nice and sometimes the shop music can be anxiety-inducing ☺️

You have? That's so cool. I wonder what it would be like...probably very peaceful. You know how when the power goes out and everyone calms the eff down because doom scrolling is off the table and instead candles are lit? Maybe it's kind of like that
@AffyAvo Creating your own business or self-managing can be great if work environments are stressful for you, like me and my diabetes friend ☺️ My Mum is also disabled and doesn’t work, but she still gets money 💕 This is mostly all I can describe. Also…. Having carers, psychologists, or someone to help around can really help -w-

Ooh good ones...to not be in a place such as Korea where if you don't work you go to jail...we are quite innovative in our social system for sure. 🙏🏼 💜

I think I would like to see cellphones and other technology be more inclusive...it's hard enough to teach someone still to turn on a TV let alone work a smartphone.
And also to see all the healthcare and governmental systems work together more closely so people don't have to tell their story over and over again, perhaps.
