Honoured to be profiled by @MDUK_News for my advocacy on accessible technology. It’s a privilege to be recognised by a charity that stands with the muscular dystrophy community. Read more about my journey towards better tech accessibility here: musculardystrophyuk.org/news-blogs-and… #a11y
If you’re interested in the wider accessibility features and benefits of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, I reviewed them earlier this year. For someone living with severe upper limb weakness, they are life transforming. The most accessible piece of tech I own aestumanda.com/reviews/2024/0…
Yes! Apple Music integration has arrived on my Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses. Can’t wait to try this hands-free feature! #AppleMusic #MetaRaybansmartglasses #Apple #a11y

Kudos to Johnny Timpson for speaking out against the unjust prosecutions of unpaid carers. These actions are not only ‘beyond the pale’, but also highlight a wider undervaluation of care in our nation today. It’s time for political leaders to stand up theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
As someone who navigates England’s broken social care system daily, I’ve shared my firsthand insights on its critical failings. Unpaid carers and disabled people deserve dignity, not debt. Discover why urgent reform is necessary: aestumanda.com/opinion/2024/0… #EndSocialCareInjustice

In 1996, journalist @ColinHughesUK discussed disabled people's rights at a meeting with Tony Blair. 28 years on, disabled people are still fighting for their rights to be upheld in #SocialCare, as Colin writes in a new piece 👇 aestumanda.com/opinion/2024/0… @InstituteGC
If people can't pay social care charges, they can't pay. Wasting local tax payers' money on debt recovery and legal actions is not the way forward on the crisis of care charge debt, in the NE (over 6000 care debt recovery actions by Durham Council since 2021) and across the UK.
The money related largely to unpaid charges for adult social care with the local authority exhausting all options to recover the debts gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-…
There have been two court hearings in recent weeks - in responses to legal challenges to the social care charging policies of Birmingham City Council and Glasgow City Council. Very concerning that judges ruled inadequate EIA (GCC)and potentially discriminatory impacts (BCC) 1/2
