Today, we also celebrate the International Day of Deafblindness, a day that raises awareness, celebrates resilience, and advocates for the rights, inclusion and dignity of people living with combined vision and hearing loss.

Deafblindness presents unique ways of experiencing and engaging with the world. With the right support, inclusive environments and accessible communication, those who are deafblind are able to live rich, dynamic lifestyles and have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully in all areas of society.

Not only is the international day of deafblindness about raising awareness, it's about respect, recognition and taking action. It is a day to ensure that everyone has equal opportunity to belong.

Let us use this day to remove barriers, and create a world where everyone has the opportunity to participate fully and thrive.

Aujourd’hui, nous célébrons également la Journée internationale de la surdicécité – une journée de sensibilisation, de célébration de la résilience et de défense des droits, de l’inclusion et de la dignité des personnes vivant avec une perte combinée de la vue et de l’ouïe.

La surdicécité offre une manière unique de percevoir et d’interagir avec le monde. Avec le bon soutien, des environnements inclusifs et une communication accessible, les personnes sourdaveugles peuvent mener une vie riche et dynamique, et contribuer pleinement à tous les aspects de la société.

La Journée internationale de la surdicécité ne se limite pas à sensibiliser. Elle vise aussi le respect, la reconnaissance et l’action. C’est une journée pour veiller à ce que tout le monde ait une chance égale de se sentir à sa place.

Profitons de cette journée pour éliminer les obstacles et créer un monde où chacun peut participer pleinement et s’épanouir.

BREAKING: Supreme Court ruling strengthens disability rights in education!

In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Minnesota student with epilepsy, making it easier for students with disabilities and their families to seek justice when schools fail to provide necessary accommodations. 💼⚖️

Chief Justice Roberts wrote:

“Children with disabilities and their parents face daunting challenges on a daily basis. We hold today that those challenges do not include having to satisfy a more stringent standard of proof than other plaintiffs.”

This ruling is a major step forward in protecting the educational rights of students with disabilities nationwide. 💙
