How do you navigate Edinburgh in August?

The biggest arts festival in the world comes to the city this month with hundreds of shows taking place every day. For many, this can be extremely overwhelming. More people, busy public transport, and routine changes.

We've put together a short guide on claiming free sensory kits, finding quiet spots in the city to decompress, and navigating the commute.

Something to add? Drop your favourite quiet spots, travel hacks, or sensory tips in the comments below.

Did you know that Disability Pride Month originated in America? Upon signing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, each July is celebrated globally as Disability Pride Month.

In the UK, Disability Pride Month has been celebrated since 2015. Over time, it has evolved from a day of celebration to a month-long event. The flag was created by Ann Magill in 2019 and refreshed in 2021. But what do the colours on the disability flag represent?

- Grey for protest against ableism
- Green for Sensory Disabilities
- Blue for Mental Health
- White for Undiagnosed Disabilities
- Gold for Neurodiversity/Neurodivergence
- Red for Physical Disabilities

Coloured stripes are placed diagonally across the flag to show how disabled people have to cut across barriers in society. Disability Pride Month is a chance for workplaces to reflect on their accessibility and to show support for the disabled community.

Have you had a positive experience of disability inclusion in your workplace? Let us know in the comments.

Employment Advisors Ross and Kirsten attended the Scottish Union of Supported Employment Conference in May. They delivered a workshop on Vocational Profiling alongside Kelly Forrest from Values Into Action Scotland.

Ross said: "Vocational Profiling is one of the cornerstones of the work we do as Employment Advisers, and an aspect I personally get a lot from because it’s focused on getting to know the clients we work with as best as possible. So, it was great to be able to provide some insight into our approaches with attendees at the conference."
