Celebrating IDPwD (International Day of People with Disability)

December 4, 2020

IDPwD is a United Nations observed day celebrated internationally. It aims to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability and celebrate their achievements and contributions.

This December, in supporting IDPwD, Assistive Technology Australia shares a special interview with two Assistive Technology Mentors (AT Mentors).
We took the opportunity to ‘get to know’ our two AT Mentors, Peter Simpson and Caytlin Weir, to find out how their lived experience of disability has shaped their roles.
