7/ Despite contributing billions annually, disabled people routinely face barriers to work, accessibility, and inclusion. Imagine how much more they could add to the economy with fewer barriers and greater opportunities!

6/ Every dollar spent by a disabled person supports countless sectors: healthcare, biotech, personal assistance, tech, manufacturing, and more. The ripple effects are enormous.

4/ The market for assistive technologies and devices (think wheelchairs, hearing aids, prosthetics, etc.) was valued at $50 billion USD in 2020 and is growing fast. As populations age, demand for these products will only increase.

3/ Healthcare spending alone is massive. In the U.S., adults with disabilities spend over $80 billion USD annually out-of-pocket on health care. Globally, these costs are even higher when factoring in other countries.

You can ask ChatGPT or any AI to prepare a meal plan for you for any diet. You can specify “for people who can’t cook”, “gluten-free”, “low FODMAP”, etc. Then have it prepare a grocery list, tell you which stores nearby have those items on sale, and show you how to get them delivered!

This is a great start from the Bateman Horne Center. I keep a copy with me; it’s been invaluable when I’ve had to go to the ER.
