Links and Associations

Over time some reports and articles were written about me and my condition. Here are a few links:

My plan for 2020 was to return to university to write about “disablism”, a covert form of discrimination that prejudges individuals on their ability to perform specific tasks. However, the arrival of Covid made this an untimely project. So instead, I was urged to consider developing a web-based project about access and inclusion.

In January 2021, as a self-managed NDIS client, I advertised for a support worker with computer knowledge and Chris Dickmann was employed. In March, planning for the Ability Heroes website began, and in April 2021, Chris started the development of the prototype platform. The website rapidly developed, and I discovered he had twenty years of programming experience.

Ability Heroes Ltd was registered with ASIC and ACNC, and I was appointed interim Treasurer. In April 2022, the organisation was awarded Deductible Gift Recipient status by the Taxation Department.
