ATTENTION #nlschools On the advice of Public Health, NLESD is suspending in-class instruction for all students in St. John’s metro area schools which include high school grades, for at least Tuesday & Wednesday, February 9-10. Details to follow.
⚠️ Our Communication Center is receiving an influx of reports related to calls from local numbers stating aggressively to be Canada Revenue Agency, or requesting personal information to check on bank transaction activity. This is a #SCAM, do not provide personal information.⚠️
We have a new home. @udnnl so set your follows there, and help us "Spark The Conversation" about how accessibility in the built environment benefits us all. A drawing contest for all kids in Newfoundland & labrador K-12 starts September 27th. RT and tell everyone. Thanks.
Did you know that a central draining system for a shower isn't the only way to drain that water . 💦 This #Lifemarkapproved shower channel drain from Jesani does the same job but better! - jesani.co.nz/shower-channel #Wowwednesday #Wateryouknow #easyuse #UDforall #UniversalDesign
Wall reinforcement is critical for grab-rail installation! The TERM for wall reinforcement differs depending on where you live in #NZ. What is it called where you live? 🤔🔨 #Thoughtfulthursday #wallreinforcement #reinforceearly #grabrail #nog&dwang #UniversalDesign
If your sat @ home tonight wondering #Whatnext on the 📺? Tune into the final episode of #Whatnext. We have a funny feeling it could involve #Lifemark and our #AgelabSuit Its on TVNZ1 @8:30pm tonight or @TVNZondemand @jehancasinader #UD @TVNZ #Ageingpopulation #UniversalDesign
It's Universal Design's Time ! Geoff recently had an opinion piece feature in the #Branz Build Magazine. Have a read of this ➡️ buildmagazine.org.nz/articles/show/… #UDtime #simplybetter #UDforall #UniversalDesign #Lifemark @BRANZlive
“One of the 1st barriers experienced by persons with disabilities is the attitudes of others. Changing these attitudes is a collective responsibility that requires commitment from all members of society.”
Read our friend and colleague @TKurdi's —"Top Insider Secrets About What's Stopping Full Inclusion in Design & How You Can Help Fix Them" It will do you some good! linkedin.com/pulse/top-insi…
Most nondisabled people will never understand that getting and using my first wheelchair was one of the happiest days of my life.
Bus rider to me(a wheelchair user):”Why are you on the bus when you can get door-to-door transportation?” Sometimes it would be nice just to ride the bus without having your presence questioned. Access for disabled people to all should be unquestioned.
Even a home likes to get a good score. Check out our #Homescore to see how accessible your home really is - lifemark.co.nz/homescore #UniversalDesign #howaccesibleisyourhome #doyouhaveUDfeatures #Lifemark

“The implementation of universal design can benefit a broad range of people, beyond what meets the eye.” #OTmonth #OccupationalTherapy #UniversalDesign udp.ngo/2KdKctK
Um... the definition of #universaldesign is "design that's usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design." Usability for all people is the first point of focus. You can't do UD without focusing on the user.
