Show me your inclusion, don't just tell me! Thank you Target! And all thanks to Dan Colwin for sharing his family story. #representation #DisabilityInclusion #DHH #disability
Hey Target!!!!! Thank you. My son has a disability. He has neurological hearing loss. Inherited from me. It sets him apart and makes him stand out. We try to always stay positive with it but some days can be hard. Then a day like today happens and it just makes it easier. Today my son went shopping with my wife and he saw a model wearing hearing aids. “Mom!!! He has hearing aids like me! Can you take my picture with him?” It was an amazing feeling to see my son relate with another boy, in a totally positive way, around their similar hearing loss. So thank you Target for being inclusive. It is a beautiful thing on so many levels. Don’t stop.
Target does an awesome job of it!!!
They only do it for money, sadly
Try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Many of the comments is why did Target do this. To this little boy he doesn’t look at it that way. He looks at it as I’m not alone. There is someone else out there like me and his picture is in the store. It give them encouragement and a sense of belonging. For those who want to understand hearing loss, wear ear plug, turn music on and try and have a conversation. A hearing intinerant teacher did this with a class. WOW was it impactful.
Inclusivity is so powerful. Kids just want to feel like they're not alone, and not vastly different from those around them. We need more of this!!!
Target, whose products I like, isn't that friendly for those of us who are hard of hearing. They are one of those places that have music playing in the store, often quite loud. I walked out of a Target this week because the music was too loud.
Representation and inclusion is so powerful, and for our kids to see themselves in moments like this is even more important as they grow up in our ever changing world. Thanks for sharing xx
Representation really does matter!

1wNice to see. They have come a very very long way though, first big fine for web accessibility non compliance under ADA. But nice to see that it seems to have helped them on their journey of brand inclusivity. So well done!
