One of the most impactful lessons I've learned in supporting consumers with disabilities is the power of holistic care. By focusing on the whole person and their family, we can enable individuals to function at their best and ensure they share equal opportunities with their peers. This approach not only empowers those we support but also enriches their lives and the lives of those around them. If you're interested in learning how this approach can assist you or someone you know in thriving, feel free to reach out via DM. Together, we can unlock your full potential 💜🥰

#SummerReading When Driving Is Not An Option by Anna Zivarts A worthwhile read to understand the scale and multiple dimensions of the barriers for people who don't drive in places where car dependency is assumed. A third of the population don't drive - due to disability, youth, immigration status, age, poverty or choice. The impact of difficult or denied access, and even social isolation as people age in car-reliant neighbourhoods, can be dire. Anna proposes a range of solutions for planners, transport officials and politicians. Although in Australia we're better off than in the US, there are lessons well worth considering.   In particular I liked that Anna started the "Week Without Driving Challenge" with Disability Rights Washington and now, in partnership with America Walks. In October 2024 over 700 elected and public officials across 43 states participated. What a great way to give decision makers some perspective on what it can be like for a third of their transport systems' customers. The next one starts 29 September 2025 - who's in? https://lnkd.in/gjiuFQYk   https://lnkd.in/g7fdNBw5
