Accessibility in the UK

In my journey to educate and raise awareness about living with a disability in the UK, I am determined to highlight all the accessibility issues I have faced. From barriers such as cars parked on pavement to digital exclusion, I strive to uncover the gaps that exist in our society and explore the potential solutions.

In my blog posts I write about inclusive education, access to employment, healthcare access, and the importance of creating accessible public spaces. By sharing my personal experiences, practical advice, and advocating for change, I hope to inspire abled and disabled people, businesses, and policymakers alike to prioritize accessibility and contribute to building a society that embraces diversity and inclusivity.

A Blind Girl in the UK

Living in the UK as a blind girl, I have encountered my fair share of struggles and obstacles. From inaccessible public transportation to limited educational resources, I’ve navigated a world that often fails to cater to the needs of visually impaired individuals. However, these challenges have only fuelled my determination to create change. Through this blog, I aim to shed light on the realities faced by blind individuals in the UK, sharing personal stories, insights, and resources to empower others in similar situations.

Blind Travel Tips

Additionally, as a travel lover, I am passionate about sharing my experiences and tips on traveling when you are blind or have other disabilities. Being a wheelchair user for 8 years, I have encountered different struggles when travelling.

Through my blog, I provide valuable insights into accessible travel destinations, transportation options, and accommodations that cater to the needs of disabled people. From navigating airports to exploring cultural landmarks, I offer practical advice on planning memorable trips.

My aim is to empower other blind and disabled people to embark on their own adventure and don’t let their disability hold them back from exploring the world.

Guide Dog Training

Ida has been my trusty invaluable companion for many years, accompanying me on my journey. I have written my personal stories with Ida, as well as insights into the process of training and working with a guide dog From the initial bond-building to the day-to-day challenges, I offer a glimpse into the unique relationship between a guide dog and its owner.

Furthermore, I provide essential information on the regulations and rights surrounding guide dogs in the UK, ensuring that blind people have the knowledge and resources to navigate public spaces with confidence.

The cover of the Smart Marketer's Guide to Digital Accessibility book. It is light purple and has the title, subtitle and author name written in dark purple. The cover shows a girl with red short hair wearing a green dress working on a laptop. Next to her there is a black guide dog. In front of her, at the same table, there is a man holding a smartphone in his hand, wearing a yellow tshirt, green cap and trousers, and red shoes. They are drawn as cartoons.
