Shanghai Disney Resort hosts disability inclusion forum

Xu emphasized China's unique position in terms of accessibility development, noting the significant amount of people in the country who are living with disabilities.

"Enhanced infrastructure is crucial for genuine social integration," he added, advocating for stricter accessibility standards in construction projects and the inclusion of mobility-impaired individuals in facility inspections.

The forum featured industry presentations, panel discussions and a Chinese sign language learning session, providing a platform for collaboration on accessibility initiatives.

Complementing the forum, the Shanghai resort launched several programs to coincide with Wednesday's International Day of Persons with Disabilities, including community outreach efforts and an accessible merchandise collection.

Last week, members of the Disney VoluntEARS program visited the Zhangjiang campus of Shanghai Children's Medical Center and both campuses at Shanghai Pudong Special Needs School, where they donated Disney toys to children.
