[Athen] Role Model Challenge for more Images of Those of us with Disabilities in Education and Professional Environments

[chagnon at pubcom.com]

Look at www.DisabilityPhotos.com <http://www.DisabilityPhotos.com>   

For professionals with disabilities:
http://photoability.net/gallery/69-0.html 

 

What's lacking are photos that show those with disabilities in a work or
educational setting with others without disabilities.such as in classrooms
and office meetings.

 

Most photos still focus on the individual working alone at their desk, for
example. Or focus on their technology, such as the Braille keyboard or
decked-out wheelchair. 

 

We need photos that show them as part of a work team or classroom
discussion. And to show other disabilities, not just mobility requiring a
wheelchair.

Disabilities in Education and Professional Environments

 

Hi Everyone!

 

Today I am launching a continuance of the "#Role Model Challenge on twitter
and LinkedIn!" We need more images in the Creative Commons that represent
those of us who are blind, visually disabled, have learning, cognitive or
print disabilities or who use alternate input devices or communication
boards. Without role models in inclusive education and employment, we will
continue to be seen as less than equal. Here are more details and why I
started this challenge today.

Please share the #RoleModelChallenge and the link for more information!

 

Cheers, Karen
