Upgrading Accessibility

Defining accessibility

Hi! My name is Mary. I am 41 years old and I have spastic hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy. I was adopted from Beirut, Lebanon at the age of ten months. I wasn’t diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy until the age of 2. The doctors told my mother to lock me away and that I would amount to nothing. Thankfully, she didn’t listen. I remember telling her at a very young age that my life’s mission was to speak up for those who couldn’t. It’s a mission I’ve carried into adulthood. That’s why I started a movement called @upgradeaccessibility. Doing the bare minimum to comply with accessibility laws is not enough. Ramps should not be poorly constructed or placed at backdoors. Bathroom stalls should have ample room to accommodate a wheelchair user. There’s so much work to be done, but this is my mission and I’m going to ensure it will be accomplished.

Collapsible text is perfect for longer content like paragraphs and descriptions. It’s a great way to give people more information while keeping your layout clean. Link your text to anything, including an external website or a different page. You can set your text box to expand and collapse when people click, so they can read more or less info.
