Equipped with proper training and skills we can all make informed decisions around access. Accessibility and inclusion is at the core of our design of homes and institutions, research projects, educational plans, entertainment and leisure activities, healthcare practices, our world. Very few have specific training on accessibility and inclusion. I offer my life’s work and expertise to enable you and your immediate environment to be more accessible and inclusive. See below for some of my work;
As we grow, our bodies are less agile and require more support in our daily life to avoid and limit the risk of injury. Persons with disabilities need support in making our living spaces safer and more accessible. I create a concept for an accessible environment tailored to your needs to make your living space, rented or owned, as barrier free as possible and maintain your agency and dignity.
I assess the state of inclusion at your workplace, sensitivity of your staff and the people you serve. Then design training for your team to elevate disability inclusion and acceptance as well as advise on implementation of feedback. I offer technical support in inclusive project design in education, healthcare and Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights.
I design appropriate programs and training for your learning institution based on relevant educational and function assessment. This will cover the physical environment, specific educational needs of learners, guidance through educational transitions to families, designing Individualised educational plans and disability specific training to teachers and caregivers. I am a certified educational and functional assessor.
