OUTREACH
“Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.”
– Rollo May
In order to strengthen ties with our community, it’s important people know who we are and what we do. To achieve this, we disseminate information about human rights and advocacy via informal workplace visits, or via more structured setups such as expos, media interviews, forums and panels.
Through forming networks and partnerships with like-minded organisations, businesses, schools and governments, we form alliances with the aim of increasing understanding of people with little or no speech and their support needs, and improving outcomes for them.
Our outreach service also enables us to gain further insight into the various issues faced by people with speech and communication difficulties, and has enabled us to therefore take the necessary action to remove barriers and advocate for the collective rights of vulnerable members of our community.
