Now that Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) has passed, we now look forward to celebrating the 31stanniversary of the ratification of the Americans with Disabilities Act. We invite you to join in on the celebration by posting a Selfie of you or you and your friends, using your Assistive Technology with a caption of what your AT means to you. Your Selfie and caption will be viewable along with other selfies and captions so we all can share in the celebration. Use the hash tag #myatselfie if posting to social media for more visibility.
When you upload Your Selfie with captions, you will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Amazon Gift Card. The 3 (three) winners with the best Selfie swag will be chosen, notified by e-mail and sent their gift card by e-mail by July 19th, 2021. Please see below for a list of who can participate and some suggestions we put together.
