Thanks to @clau_nader and the Wellness Wednesday team for having me at this morning's discussion on disability and accessibility. Here's the link if anyone is keen to listen to the discussion:

And here are some people whose work you should definitely follow and learn more about. It was great to give shout outs to the amazing @BlondeHistorian and @BlindDad_Uk from whom I have learnt lots from and continue to do so.

Also, do follow the wonderful work by @extantltd Integrating accessibility creatively to their productions and fostering inclusion.

Also, the wonderful work by @thatLouiseFryer and Pablo Romero-Fresco on integrated access is a must. I consider them to be 2 of the most influential academics in the field and have learnt a lot from reading their work.

Also, why not follow @YorkDisability to find out more about the events taking place? Want to learn more about accessibility, you can follow @blindandb0ujee who runs auditing, consulting and training services @incllewsion

And there's, of course, our very own @TFTI_UoY @Anna_bd who does wonderful research in the field and has done an outstanding job integrating accessibility teaching to the IM degree!

In terms of reading a good starting point is 'Understanding Disability' by Michael Oliver, lots of important discussions on the Social Model of Disability. I also really love 'More than Meets the Eye' by Georgina Kleege.

Two wonderful books on the practical side are @thatLouiseFryer's 'An Introduction to Audio Description: A practical guide' and Pablo Romero-Fresco's 'Accessible Filmmaking'. And there's lots and lots more!

There's so many more people whose work is incredibly important to the field that I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of them so feel free to add to this thread. I would also recommend looking into the work by @BenGShirley @thepengineer @Donagh_Sarah @Bad_Ass_Blindy @HarshaBala_
