11. Birdability: Because Birding is for Everybody and Every Body

    10:01 am Comments Off on Birdability: Because Birding is for Everybody and Every Body

    Online Workshop with Birdability

    Birding is an activity that can bring so much joy and empowerment to everybody, but not everybody is able to go birding easily. Birdability is a non-profit organization focused on removing barriers to access for birders with mobility challenges, blindness or low vision, intellectual or developmental disabilities (including autism), mental illness, being Deaf or Hard of Hearing and other health concerns. Learn about why this should matter to you (even if you don’t have an accessibility challenge), ways to be a more welcoming and inclusive birder, the Birdability Map (and how to submit a Birdability Site Review) and our resources for birders (and potential future birders) with accessibility challenges… because birding is for everybody and every body! Presented by Freya McGregor, OTR/L, Birdability Coordinator and Occupational Therapist.
