Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect a person’s ability to move and maintain balance and posture. Children and adults affected by cerebral palsy often face challenges that hinder their full participation in society. When individuals, families, caregivers, and communities come together, they become a powerful force for positive change and inclusion.

Asperger's syndrome is included in the autism spectrum, a disorder related to brain development impacting how a person perceives and socializes with others. What distinguishes Asperger's Disorder from classic autism is its less severe signs and absence of language delays. It is like a milder form of autism. Individuals with Asperger's Disorder are interested in social interaction, but may be socially awkward or unfamiliar with conventional social rules.

People with Asperger’s usually show an intense interest, fascination, or fixation on specific topics that may border on obsession. They may also have knowledge of categories of information, such as specific statistics or facts. They may have an exceptional ability for detailed learning and memory, attention to detail, and a strong ability to recognize patterns. According to Australia's Calming Moments website, some famous names associated with Asperger's Disorder include Albert Einstein, Vincent van Gogh, and World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer.

Celebrate Braille Awareness this month as a reminder that we need more accessibility for people who are blind or visually impaired. Imagine going to a restaurant and not being able to read the entire menu and having to rely on someone else to read items off the menu or choose a meal for you. We take for granted the smallest tasks that determine our independence. As the world becomes hyper-focused on the future of technology, we need to think about a community that includes people with all abilities and disabilities. Start January with thinking about how you can help in your industry to make this world a more independent and accessibility place for those with differing disabilities.
