Astonished and delighted to be selected as a 2023 Changemaker by @globeandmail's ROB Magazine! Hard to believe it's just been 6 short years since @AccessToSuccess started as a club at @rotmanschool. Excited to continue this journey to #EnableEveryone. theglobeandmail.com/business/rob-m…
We are heartbroken to learn of @HonDavidOnley's passing. He was a trailblazer for disability inclusion and a passionate leader. Canada has lost one of the greats, but his legacy will live on forever.
Always love it when people find the value of accessibility in unexpected ways

This is one of my favourite parts of the year. And it makes me smile and laugh and get a little misty eyed - every single year ❤️

I actually asked chatGPT to write a poem about the power of accessibility (because hey it's #IDPWD!) and it was astonishing. I'll share it once it comes back on

Only got to play with #ChatGPT for a few hours last night before it went down. This thing is world-changing in a way that can't be exaggerated. It'll be a world before ChatGPT and after ChatGPT, like it was with Google. Can't wait for it to be back on for the public
A #ThrowbackThursday to a great hang with some amazing people at the @RemarkableTech Summit in San Francisco. 🙌 Our founder @VarunChandak_ spoke on a panel discussing "The Global State of Disability Tech." #RemarkableTechSummit
I've been meeting more and more people I've only known virtually so far, and somehow @johnath and @shappy already know the essence of many of those conversations. If you've used the words "work" and "burn it all down" together lately, go read this. mailchi.mp/f3cd3d57302c/b…
"When you bring bright people together and you start thinking about the world as we know it and the world as it could be, some magic starts to happen." Excited to be at the #RemarkableTechSummit listening to @petehorsley from @RemarkableTech. This will be a great couple of days.
Wearable tech to help kids improve their walking gait. A brain-computer interface. An app that boosts recall of memories in aging patients... 'Cutting-edge' doesn't quite cover the assistive tech featured in our Demo Day this Thursday. Join us to check them out for yourself!

People who *don't* find visual descriptions helpful outnumber those who do by over 2x. Many who said yes also said, "it depends on the context". Intriguing food for thought for those of us who organize events.
Congratulations @VarunChandak_ & team!!! 🚀🚀🚀 @AccessToSuccess

Earlier today I met @VarunChandak_ a Canadian helping incubate startups aimed at enhancing accessibility. He has 40 percent hearing loss and read my lips through the entire cocktail chitchat. My takeaway- if he can do what he is doing so damn well, so can the rest of us #CGI22
The last 2 days have been a whirlwind of famous faces, inspiring speakers and old friends at the @ClintonGlobal summit in NYC. Thrilled to have announced the Moonshot Disability Accelerator at this global stage, of which @AccessToSuccess is one of 12 global partners.
