“When society is designed to include people with disability from the get-go, it makes an enormous difference, giving a sense of belonging and assuring that you are not the problem, have every right to exist and to truly participate in your community as much as any person without a disability.”

The ABC’s Nas Campanella and Evan Young have written a wonderful article featuring PDA’s CEO, Jeremy Muir, who talks about his independence being impacted by his surroundings and the built environment.

It is a really great read.
