If you use technology to support communication, education, employment or independent living you could be entitled to the Vat back. @sastireland @FreedomTech_IRL need your help to understand your experiences. Please complete the survey below #VatFreeAT – at Dublin City, Ireland
Don't forget to complete the @FreedomTech_IRL survey on VAT on #AssistiveTechnology and #accessible technology. This will help them to campaign for changes in how VAT is applied. The survey takes 5-10 minutes and we really appreciate your time and input.

Great to be apart of this with co-researcher Aine Walsh and @lesleyohara – at Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland
We are delighted to launch:
A TOOLKIT for beginning a #PPI relationship with patients & members of the public.
It was developed in partnership with @PPI_Ignite_TCD (who led), @BecHanley1 & our member charities. Funded by @hrbireland.

Having some really great discussions in our #IDC2020 workshop on: What we learn when designing with marginalised children. So amazing to come together with such an international community. One of the benefits of a virtual conference!!

This is really shocking news. How can a country ratify human rights and not support people to advocate for themselves? Shame on us @ellenmcoyne @KittyHollandIT @noelbaker1 @TheJusticeDept
We have now reached the end of the road.
Thank you to all who have supported us. Apologies to our 300 members and to all people with intellectual disabilities in Ireland that we can no longer give voice.
Nothing about us without us.

Because “thinking differently” is a key part of innovation. Invoking diverse audiences in design just makes better products :-)

Important points made here. I want to see issues affecting disabled people discussed much more during #GE2019 by all politicians. We have a value and are not just a cost.
"Disability has always, always been on the sidelines."
60% of UK firms have no named disability champion at board or senior management level according to @500Valuable. It's something @CarolineBinc wants to change. ⬇️

Anyone have a child that gets anxious when trying new things? Going to the dentist for example?? AbleEyes.org is a great resource for parents and educators providing a wide variety of video modeling videos as well as 360 virtual tours (anywhere in the US)@autismspeaks

Lovely piece of feedback from a delegate on #noticksnoboxes "because of what you said I started sending certificates home. One mum cried. Her son was 13. He'd never had a certificate for achieving anything before" Celebrate!
