"What is inconceivable today will be routine and normalized tomorrow." Opening this year's LEAD Conference, Betty Siegel from @AccessVSA spoke about advances in accessibility. For example, automatic doors were once only possible in Star Trek, and are now commonplace.

“This walk is an opportunity to educate the public about the accessibility issues people with disabilities are currently facing.” Could your own city or town implement a Walk, Talk and Roll walking tour? Hmmm.... athensmessenger.com/news/wal…

"We hear a lot of, 'It's going to cost more money' or, 'It's going to make things more complicated.' The response is that you will actually get more business . . . because you're then opening up that space for more people." fashionista.com/2023/04/fash…
