Advocacy
How to be your own best advocate
Life with a disability comes with lots of additional paper work.
Educate
Spend five minutes each week educating yourself.​ Talk to disabled people about current issues and how you can help.
​
If a friend mentions they have a new health condition - they are feeling like they can share this information with you, if you're able to ask them how you can support them with this.
​
There seems to be a strange idea that disabled people are entitled to alot of money from the government. disabled owned small businesses.
Advocate
You wouldn’t hold on to your friends back or grab their t-shirt while they walk or lean on them randomly so why do people do it to wheelchair users? When someone holds onto our wheelchairs without asking it feels like an invasion of our personal space
​
​Signing petitions is an incredibly powerful way to ensure disabled voices are being heard.
​
Support
It's important you know how to support disabled people properly! If you can spare five minutes a week to advocate for disabled people you can help to improve the lives of people like me! ​​

I think it’s okay to remember that..
I’m not just the one in the wheelchair or the girl with Tourette’s I’m Lauren, who happens to use a wheelchair and have Tourettes.
