International Wheelchair Day highlights the importance of accessibility and mobility for all. From inclusive playgrounds to accessible classrooms, every space should support children with disabilities. Let’s keep pushing for a world where everyone moves freely.

Autism is a spectrum, and each child's experience is unique. Childhood disability studies shift the focus from deficits to societal barriers, emphasizing inclusion, accessibility, and the voices of autistic children. True acceptance goes beyond awareness! đź’™ #DalShiftCollective

✨ At SHIFT Research Lab, we believe every child, disabled or not, is an expert in their own life. ✨ Let’s move beyond old ideas of childhood. Let’s listen, include, and value children just as they are, right now. #dalshiftcollective #DisabledChildhoodStudies #InclusionNow

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, but disabled children and their families are often left out of the conversation. Mental health is deeply shaped by ableism, exclusion, and systems that were never built with all children in mind. ✨ Shift how we see, support, and include.

The way we speak to disabled children shapes how they see themselves. Words can include or exclude. Choose them with care. #dalshiftcollective #DisabilityInclusion #BelongingMatters #ChildhoodRedefined #wordsmatter
