Newz Hook | Disability News – Changing Attitudes towards Disability.
15% of the population experiences some form of a disability, and yet are often ignored! Today, people with disabilities are at the peripheral of most conversations. Newz Hook looks at how to engage with them as an inclusive part of the conversation.
At Newz Hook, we highlight disability stories and research that will let people see people with disabilities as equal, as able, as independent and with empathy! We disseminate information to assist people with disabilities and their circle of influence become aware of what’s happening in the world.
Driven by inspiring stories and a vision for an inclusive world.
