Accessible and Inclusive Futures: Strategies, Support, and Initiatives for Persons with Disabilities in Bermuda

Dear Listeners,

Inclusion and accessibility are cornerstones of creating an equitable society. According to the World Health Organization a person's environment can impact their experience and ability to participate in society. Therefore, an environment of inaccessibility hinders the full and effective participation of person's with disabilities in society (WHO). As we move towards becoming a more equitable society, Bermuda, how can we make our society more accessible?
