“Unlock the Everyday” is the title of the campaign to celebrate the World Day for Assistive Technology (4 June). The purpose of observing World AT Day is to:
-
Rally all sectors — including health, education, social protection, development, and the private sector — to shine a spotlight on the importance of assistive technology and call for increased access;
-
Celebrate initiatives around the world that are improving access to AT, as inspiring examples of what’s possible when we commit to inclusion;
-
Amplify the voices of AT users, who experience both the transformative benefits and the persistent barriers to accessing the AT they need. This includes older adults, persons with disabilities, people with chronic health conditions, and others with functional limitations.
