Expo 2020 Dubai becomes Sensory Accessible Event


Expo 2020 Dubai becomes Sensory Accessible Event
DUBAI, 4 hours, 5 minutes
ago
Testament to its commitment to host the most accessible and inclusive World Expo in history, Expo 2020 Dubai has become the first event in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia region – and the first ever World Expo – to be certified as a Sensory Accessible Event.
 
The International Board of Sensory Accessibility (IBSA) certification was presented to Expo 2020 by Sensory Access – the body responsible for assessing Expo’s vast and integrated accessibility measures – at an event to mark World Autism Awareness Day (April 2), held at Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion.
 
Dr Jennifer Camulli, Manager – Accessibility and Inclusion, Expo 2020 Dubai, said: “Expo 2020 Dubai has engaged with multiple community organisations since its early planning stages to introduce provisions that enable everyone to enjoy a safe, seamless and exceptional visitor experience. As the first World Expo in the Arab world, we are proud that our measures meet IBSA standards, setting a new benchmark for sensory accessibility in the UAE and serving as a model for the Middle East and beyond.

Illinois legislators advanced pieces of the Black Caucus’ agenda — including a cap on payday loan rates and a permanent extension of vote-by-mail introduced last spring — during a busy series of meetings held before new members are sworn in Wednesday.
After a long debate late Monday night — and a caucus break — the House passed a piece of the Black Caucus agenda focused on economic access, equity and opportunity. The legislation, SB1608, focuses on increasing diversity in the state’s procurement process and passed through the chamber 70 to 39 with one voting present and eight not voting.

Smart Ass Cripple: When a Good Name Is Not Enough


Smart Ass Cripple: When a Good Name Is Not Enough
The Keeping All Students Safe Act seems like something everyone would support, so why is there opposition to it?
I think the most influential people in Washington, D.C., are the Bill Namers. They have a very important job. They have to think of catchy names for bills. This is essential for the successful marketing of a piece of legislation.
“Unfortunately, there’s this perception that teachers need restraint and seclusion to keep themselves safe. It’s about compliance and control. It’s about a failure of the system and the system wants to keep doing the same thing.”
