Possibility Talks
Accessibility and inclusivity goes beyond making accommodations for people in an ableist world. Rather, it is a shift in the way we all think and operate in the world so that the voices, perspectives, and lived experiences of people with disabilities carry equal value, drive decision making, and benefit everyone by creating a world is flexible, accepting, and focused on creative solutions. Possibility Talks champions those voices.
