Lets Talk about (dis)-ABILITY

Service Description

In my experience disability isn't spoken about in schools, and if it is its usually in hushed terms. It's time to end the stigma, we need to speak about "difference" not disability, and teach young people that being different is a good thing, diversity should be celebrated. Hear Ryan's story growing up with Cerebral Palsy, being bullied in school and left out of activities, to becoming an international athlete and starting Enabled Not Disabled. 2018 saw Ryan deliver a gripping TEDxBrunel talk "How to Empower a Billion People" where he shared his vision on removing the word "disabled", putting the emphasis on Ability, and why as a society we need to be fully inclusive. Throughout the day Ryan will share his vision through workshops which can include: disability awareness | challenging perceptions of disability | how to be better members of society | #Enablednotdisabled | wheelchair basketball taster sessions | integrative disability sport sessions. Schools are also welcome to request tailored workshops. You can book Ryan for an Assembly, half-day or full-day.
