Someone with authority makes the decision to ALLOW their building to be inaccessible to people with disabilities. Or they make the decision to ensure their building IS accessible to people with disabilities. Fact. How the mainstream news media reports this truth matters. #auspol #disabilities

As someone with Cerebral Palsy, sharing my story isn't just about raising awareness - it's about helping young people see disability through a lens of strength, possibility and humanity.
Thank-you to all the schools who have welcomed me & listened to my story.

This was my first time delivering my assembly in an alternative provision school and I wasn't really sure what to expect. But I learnt so much but especially to believe in what I do!

I visit schools up and down the country delivering Disability Awareness Assemblies in Schools. The feedback from the children, teachers & parents is always really positive and I'm thrilled that the work I'm doing is having such a noticeable difference!
