2022 International Day of Persons with Disabilities: Celebrating inclusivity, fueling innovation

The annual observance of the United Nations’ International Day of Persons with Disabilities aims to promote an understanding and increase awareness of the experiences of people with disabilities. The UN has identified “Transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fueling an accessible and equitable world” as the theme for 2022.

Lime Connect celebrates the IDPWD theme through Network member-led interviews with leaders in disability accessibility and innovation. These conversations explore the theme of transformative and inclusive solutions.

This discussion was led by Google Software Engineer, Lime Network member, and Fellow, Laura D’Aquila, and featured Laura Allen, Head of Strategy & Programs, Accessibility & Disability Inclusion at Google.
