SOCIETY OF DISABLED ARTISTS 708 views CAN
Alistair Green and myself, Garry Curry, are quadriplegic stone sculptors. Alistair has a C four incomplete injury and I am a C five complete 87%. in July 1991 both in our early 20s. At the start we spent a year in rehab together learning how to cope with such a devastating injury. After a year in rehab we managed to be able to feed ourselves and brush our teeth. After rehab we have designed many devices to make life and art accessible. We started sculpting in 1995 beginning with small sculptures designed as Christmas and birthday gifts. The response from family and friends gave us confidence and this grew with every sculpture we created. Our next goal was to find studio space so we could create an accessible workstation with a dust controlled environment.

RAIDaptive DIVING website The RAIDaptive program was designed to bring the sport of diving to persons with disabilities by adapting the RAID Open Water 20 course to the abilities demonstrated by the diver with disabilities. The RAIDAptive Course is designed to teach individuals with disabilities to become certified divers with the goal of using certified RAIDaptive Dive Buddies to compensate for those skills that they cannot independently perform. The student will be certified according to the following Designations: Designation 1- The student must be able to perform all skills independently with the exception of Entries and Exits Designation 2 - The student must be able to perform all skills independently with the exception of Entries, Exits, Emergency Ascents, Maintaining Positive Buoyancy at the surface by oral inflation of the BCD Designation 3 - The student must be able to breathe continuously and monitor gas supply. The student will require assistance with all other aspects of diving. To become a certified RAIDaptive Open Water diver, the students need to have basic swimming skills, be comfortable in the water, and should be in a good overall health, have a mature attitude, sound judgement and self-discipline to follow the guidelines that they will be taught for safe diving. Medical clearance from a registered diving Doctor is also required - click the image to visit this site -

TOM DOUGHTY - LAP GUITAR TUTORIALS website These tutorials have been developed by Creative United and Tom Doughty to offer an introduction to playing Lap Guitar. Specially created to accompany workshops on his tour of the UK’s 12 Spinal Injury Units in early 2019, these tutorials are for anyone with limited upper limb movement. Creative United is part of a consortium with OHMI, Drake Music, Youth Music and OpenUp Music, whose aim is to make music and musical instruments more widely available, particularly to disabled people for whom playing a conventional musical instrument may be difficult or impossible. - click the image to visit this site -

JAIMEN HUDSON - 'THE VIEW IS BETTER FROM UP HERE!' website I have always been passionate about the outdoors, as a youth my days were filled with activities like riding dirt bikes, skateboarding, surfing and scuba diving. Learning to dive at age 10 only added to my love of the ocean. In 2008 I had an accident that left me a quadriplegic and in 2014 I became interested in drone photography and videography, although I wasn't sure I would be able to use the remote controller due to my reduced hand function. Since then though I've been lucky to have my work featured in many prominent media outlets and publications and have also won the Western Australia 'Young Achiever Award' in 2018. I hope you enjoy what you see...! - click the image to visit this site -

LONELY PLANET ACCESSIBLE TRAVEL PHRASEBOOK website All travellers will get more out of their trip by being able to speak a few words of the local language, but for people with a disability it’s often vital to be able to explain your particular needs. Since standard phrasebooks are unlikely to contain the language you need to talk about needs around disability we’ve gathered together some disability-specific words and phrases and translated them into as many different languages as we practically could. Although things are slowly changing for the better, there are still plenty of barriers to travel for people with a disability – language doesn’t have to be yet another. - click the image to visit this site -
