7 Everyday Hacks You Wouldn’t Have Without Disabled People!

7 Everyday Hacks You Wouldn’t Have Without Disabled People! You know the little ramp at the end of a pavement? That’s called a curb cut; made for wheelchair users. But now used by parents with buggies, cyclists, people with suitcases and more. That’s the curb cut effect: when access for disabled people ends up helping everyone. 1. Electric Toothbrush Originally designed for people with limited grip or coordination, now everyone uses them. 2. Ramps Built for wheelchair access, but perfect for buggies, bikes and suitcases too. 3. Text-to-Speech & Voice Assistants Created for blind people and those who struggle with mobility, now it’s how half of us set timers. 4. Velcro Invented in the 1940s, Velcro became widely used in disability care settings before it went mainstream – even before NASA made it famous 5. Audiobooks Originally made for blind readers, now a go-to for multitasking or rest. It's one of my favourite pastimes! 6. Touchless & Automatic Doors Again made for accessibility but now essential in supermarkets, airports and hospitals. 7. Subtitles & Captions Originally for Deaf and hard of hearing people, now everyone uses them, on the train, at night, or just to focus better. Disability drives innovation. Accessibility helps everyone. So next time you use one of these, remember where it came from. Be sure to share this so more people realise the impact disability has on their lives.
