So what is today all about?!? www .enabledbydesign.org blog: http://enabledbydesign.org/blog twitter: http://twitter.com/enabledby We feel that it’s about time that we start recognising people for being just that, people. and We move away from the ill-informed stereotypes often applied to ageing and disability The Enabled by Design ethos: “ We believe the world is made up of people who have a range of abilities, with each person having their own personal strengths and qualities. We are passionate about harnessing these strengths to empower people to live as independently as possible.”
