Staying active is an important part of fall prevention! 🚲🏹🛶

This National Fall Prevention Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the many ways DNEM helps people get moving through our programs.

From adaptive cycling and kayaking to archery and other recreational activities, there are opportunities to stay active, try something new, and have fun along the way.

As Cross Blue Shield of Michigan reminds us: Stay Active, Prevent Falls!

Want to know if your AI features really help users? Ask users with disabilities.

The disability community has used these tools longer, and thought about them harder, than most product teams. They'll tell you what works (instant image descriptions, captions on demand, AI that helps with focus and tasks) and where it falls short (captions used just to check a box, chatbots with no human option).

The oldest rule in accessibility still applies: nothing about us without us.
