What organizations are saying about our training?

“Fantastic course!

Although I work in the rehabilitation world, I felt I had much to gain from this training. I learned the appropriate skills and appreciation that can be used on a day-to-day basis. Well done at putting this all together!”

“I immensely enjoyed it. I usually have trouble following things online – I start to zone out. However, I found this quite an entertaining way to learn. It was easy to follow along, the content was great, it wasn’t wordy or fluffy, the videos used gave it a personal touch, and exercises at the end were a nice added touch and helped to reinforce the content/topic. It was the most fun I had doing an online exercise. I thought it was a fantastic way to present an important topic. Well done!”

We’re on a mission to change Canada’s understanding of disability.

We set out to share lived experiences and provide education that builds understanding. We believe that with greater knowledge, you can support persons with a disability in living the life they choose – from better interactions and positive language to building a more accessible community. Change starts here.
