International Disability Awareness Day
Disability Awareness Day (DAD) is an international affair, which celebrated its 30th anniversary this year. It took place on September 12th 2021 at Walton Hall Gardens in Warrington.
The aim of the free event is to support people with disabilities, including their carers, to find out more information about the services and products available to facilitate independent living.
Speech and Language Therapists help people with disabilities in a range of ways, such as using communication aids, symbols or signing; supporting understanding and decision-making; and offering communication strategies to support communication with others.
It is important for us all to continue to raise awareness of disabilities and promote inclusive environments.
Be sure to look out for next year’s DAD at Walton Hall Gardens on July 17th 2022. You can find more information about DAD at:
