Welcome to the 1% Better Improvement Podcast.
Disability isn't rare - it's part of the human experience. In our latest 1% Better episode, Accessibility Advocate Kelly Risser shares how small changes in design, communication, and mindset create a better world for everyone. 💡 From invisible disabilities to the curb-cut effect, learn why accessibility isn't just compliance - it's innovation, empathy, and good business. Hear how 1% improvements in awareness and action can drive lasting inclusion at work and beyond.
Key Takeaways:
- Disability is everywhere: 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, many of which are invisible - and everyone is just "temporarily able-bodied"
- Accessibility benefits everyone: Concepts like the curb-cut effect prove that inclusive design helps all users, not just those with disabilities
- Simple changes matter: Improving color contrast, using accessible language, and understanding assistive technologies can make digital spaces more welcoming
- Education leads to empathy: Learning from those with lived experiences can reshape our perspective and reduce stigma
- Inclusion is good business: Companies investing in accessibility not only do the right thing but also open doors to broader markets and better customer loyalty
