Not all disabilities are visible. Invisible conditions like hearing loss or mental health challenges are just as valid. Inclusion means seeing beyond what meets the eye. #AccessibilityMatters #InclusionJA #InvisibleDisabilities

My name is Michaela Gentles. I’m 22, and I have autism. From early mornings to school commutes, I live my day with purpose. Let’s embrace our differences — our collective strength is where we truly thrive. 💙💛 #JCPD #InclusionMatters

💬 “I have cerebral palsy—and I’m good with it. What’s hard is when people try to put me in a box and say I can’t do things I know I can. I work 8–4, run a YouTube channel, and live life fully. I just need transportation that won’t knock me down.”. -Shanique. #RealVoices #JCPD

Accessibility starts with signage. All public signs should:. ✅ Be placed at 60 inches (eye level). ✅ Use Braille AND raised lettering. ✅ Be posted beside doors and accessible entrances. Visibility = Safety = Dignity. #AccessibilityMatters #BuildAccessibly
