We Listen

We connect with individuals living with various abilities to learn about their experiences and challenges. We listen to understand what’s important from their perspective, using their insights to guide future research, advocacy, and education.

Learn more

We Care

Our work reflects real-life experiences by involving people with lived experience (PLEx) throughout the process. We support PLEx to participate, guide, and lead research in an inclusive and safe manner.

Learn more

We Share

We communicate our findings—and those of others—in a clear and accessible way. Our outreach is tailored to suit different audiences, using simple language to maximize impact. We share knowledge to improve the lives of people with disabilities and the broader community.

Learn more

We bridge the gap between academic research and practical applications that improve the lives of people with disabilities and their support networks.

We are grateful to the following supporters, who help make everything we do possible
