Ask a lot of persons with disabilities how they feel about the phrase “special needs”, and many will tell you it doesn't quite sit right.

It's meant well. People reach for it because they're trying to be gentle. But there's nothing special about needing to follow a class, read a document, or catch a train. Those are just needs. Everyone has them. The difference is that society often tends to assume a certain kind of person, and if that’s not you, the things you need to get by suddenly count as “special”.

Persons with disabilities are just asking for the same rights everyone already has, without the extra label.

This is part of our Better Words, Better Worlds series, where we explore everyday terms and why some of them deserve a closer look. Stay tuned for more.

Resilience is often measured by how well communities withstand a crisis. But perhaps it should be measured by who gets excluded when it arrives.

Climate change often exposes and deepens existing inequalities. Persons with disabilities and other marginalized communities are among those facing some of its sharpest impacts, yet their voices are often missing from decisions that shape climate solutions.

Inclusion cannot be an afterthought. It must shape who is heard, whose knowledge is valued, and who helps decide what comes next.

Because resilience is not defined by how many people adapt. It is defined by how few are left out.

Picture yourself heading in for a coffee. Now, take a moment and look closely at this space.
What's missing here for it to be accessible to everyone?

Sometimes, barriers are not immediately obvious unless you are the one navigating them every day.

Welcome to Spot the Barrier, our new series on accessibility.

Who is part of our everyday spaces, like schools, workplaces, and public life? And who is missing?

That gap often carries into the media. When persons with disabilities are not included in daily life, they’re often absent from the stories we come across. And when they are included, it’s often in narrow or stereotypical ways that don’t reflect real, lived experiences.

Over time, this shapes how disability is understood and how persons with disabilities come to understand their own place in the world.

So, when we talk about representation, we’re also talking about being part of the conversation, shaping it, telling it, and living it on one’s own terms.

The idea that disability and slow learning go together is a common one, but it misses what happens in most classrooms.

When a student struggles, the cause is rarely the student. More often, it is the way the lesson is set up: one format, one pace, one route to the answer. That works for some students and leaves others behind, whether they have a disability or not.

Change the setup, and the picture changes. Offer a reading and a recording. Break a long task into stages. Let students show what they know in more than one way. These shifts take effort, but they decide who can take part in learning and who cannot.

Most barriers in education are built into the design of the lesson, not the learner.

Access to clean water and well-lit, safe streets after dark do more than solve the immediate problem. When children aren’t falling sick from contaminated water, they’re in school. When women and young girls aren’t spending part of their day fetching water, that time goes somewhere else, like studying, working, their family, or simply resting. When streets are lit, evenings open up. People come out, gather, spend time together, get things done they couldn’t before.

This is what’s behind the solar streetlights and water ATMs we installed in rural communities in Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh.

None of this would have been possible without the right backing. Thank you to our corporate partner, whose CSR support made this project possible.
