Vision Statement

All people with a disability, regardless of what the disability is, will live in and be part of the community, with the proper supports and structures in place.  Real social change will occur through the harnessing of the collective wisdom and action of people through new, improved ways of working and new forms of leadership. My vision is underpinned by implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, needs-based universal entitlement to support; a strengths-based approach to support; early intervention and person-centered service responses; capacity-building focusing on community; and urban planning based on universal design principles. Ultimately, through the combined efforts of all stakeholders, a truly inclusive society is achieved.
