Main Document

Disability Awards celebrate and acknowledge the achievements and contributions that individuals with a disability make to the community, as well as recognize individuals within the community who have contributed to the disability sector.

A disability award might include:

• A school that has gone out of its way to involve a child in a mainstream class
• A local group that has adapted its project to include and involve a person with a disability
• An individual that has gone the extra mile to encourage people with disabilities to get involved in their community.
• Someone employing a person with a learning disability in a real job, perhaps by adapting the job or workplace as needed

The list of disability awards for groups, individuals, and companies is endless!
