Disabling Barriers
Disabilities aren't just something a person has, they are barriers that a person experiences. Living in a world designed for "able" bodies and "typical" minds.
We are hoping that through our Connect, Champion and Corporate pillars we are able to show people how to better advocate for themselves, empower others, and provide better working environments for everyone in Aotearoa New Zealand in the process.
Disabling Barriers
The world is designed for "able" bodies and "typical" minds, but this is an ableist view of humans as we exist. There are big changes needed, but small steps to get there.
It's not going to be easy. It's going to be uncomfortable, but those of us with disabilities have lived with more than just discomfort and are well experienced at problem-solving.
Connect
We each have a voice, let's make sure it's heard. Making this change is going to be hard, we're going to need support. To support each other. This is what Connect is all about.
