GSU - Perimeter College ASL & Interpreter Education

What a fun event! This location is in Tucker and is in front of Northlake Mall.

🌍 Yesterday was Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)

At its core, GAAD is a reminder that digital accessibility is not just a feature—it's a fundamental human right. Over 1 billion people worldwide live with a disability, and yet many digital experiences remain out of reach.

💡 Accessibility means:

-Designing with empathy.
-Building inclusive products and services.
-Ensuring everyone, regardless of ability, can participate fully in our digital world.

Whether you're a designer, developer, content creator, or business leader—you have the power to make a difference. Start small. Ask questions. Test your work. Learn from the lived experiences of people with disabilities.

Let’s commit to creating a more inclusive world—not just today, but every day.

Join us for an evening of ASL immersion at the Chick-Fil-A near the Clarkston campus. Hope to see you there!

Have you ever encountered protactile interpreting before?

Did you know that people who are Deafblind can miss up to 70% of vital information when relying on ASL or tactile sign? That’s why Protactile was developed—a groundbreaking language created by and for the Deafblind community. Unlike tactile sign language that limits a person to one-on-one interactions, Protactile allows for group conversation and the ability to convey information and emotion in a deeper, more meaningful way. Want to dive deeper into this transformative language? Check out the award-winning documentary Protactile: A Language of Touch, which received the 2023 Peabody Award, the 2023 National Federation of the Blind’s Dr. Jacob Bolotin Award, and a Telly award—link in my bio! 🔗 A heartfelt thank you to Mary Murphy, Kerri Green, @AmericanMasters, and @PBS for highlighting this important story! ✨ VD: Clips from the Protactile: A Language of Touch documentary that show cases a me and a few other people communicating with Protactile sign. We are sitting very close together in a circle and holding each others hands, legs, and arms while signing. #RebeccaAlexander #Protactile #Language #ProtactileSign #Disability #Community #PeopleFirst #Therapist #Psychotherapist #Blind #RetinitisPigmentosa #Deaf #BlindDeaf #Psychotherapy #Accessibility #Acceptance #Ableism #Creativity

This gave me chills! What a beautiful interpretation.
