Happy International Day of Disabled Persons! Do you know the impact accessibility can make for your business?

Stop limiting engagement. Start connecting with your customers.

A bathroom counter with everyday items including a hairbrush, shaving brush, cotton pads in a glass jar, and an electric toothbrush on a stand. Text reads: “Did you know? The electric toothbrush was designed for people with limited motor skills, including those with disabilities, arthritis, or other impairments that made manual brushing difficult.” The Purple Tuesday logo and tagline appear at the bottom: “Accessibility Everyday, Everywhere for Everyone.”

The electric toothbrush was invented for people with limited motor skills.
Now it’s in bathrooms everywhere.

Accessibility drives innovation.

A person seated indoors holds a smartphone displaying a messaging app. They wear shorts and sneakers. Text on the image reads: “Did you know? TTY (TeleTYpewriter) systems in the 1960s–70s allowed Deaf users to send typed messages over phone lines. Deaf users were among the earliest adopters of instant messaging.” At the bottom is the Purple Tuesday logo and tagline: “Accessibility Everyday, Everywhere for Everyone.”

Deaf users helped pioneer instant messaging, starting with TTY systems in the 60s.
Their fight for connection reshaped how we all communicate.
