Stop pitying the person in the wheelchair: for morality’s, society’s, and medicine’s sake
In this article, our CEO & Co-founder, Anna Wright, challenges the belief that disability is “wrong” or needs fixing. They advocate for recognising individuals with disabilities for their capabilities and unique experiences, promoting a more inclusive society. Through the “social model of disability,” our CEO emphasises that societal barriers, not the condition itself, create disability. Join us in changing cultural norms and embracing diversity in all its forms.

Shopping centres are increasingly becoming larger and more complex.
Information kiosks and physical signage give shoppers a general idea of location, but they lack the detail of being able to guide consumers every step of the way to the store.
