    Created by Martyn.Sibley | 16 January 2013 | 17:07:57

    New research published by disability charity Scope exposes the scale of Government’s social care crisis for disabled people with thousands struggling to eat, wash or leave their homes. Disability activist and entrepreneur Martyn Sibley provides an insight into what changes to social care could mean for him and thousands like him.

  • Ability – don't dis it, but own it

    Created by Martyn.Sibley | 10 December 2012 | 09:52:30

    If you are disabled, have a relationship to someone who is, work in this world or maybe just read my blog; you get the base issues faced.

    When writing on the subject of disability, you can't be everything to everyone. Despite having an impairment, people are still people. A medical condition will vary making life's challenges different. Then throw in types of personality, intelligence, humour, interests, political persuasion and you get a large disparity.

  • Disability and the internet

    I would now like to introduce you to the launch of an innovative and new venture, Dconferences.

    Being able to launch the first Dconference remotely from Prague whilst still on the trip was not only cool, but very fitting for the first Dconference: 'disability and the internet'.

    Dconference 2012 brings together 14 disabled people and organisations. The purpose is to share, learn and progress together through the conference. The contributors are only the beginning, because you can spread this information and comment with any additional thoughts you have.

    In my last post I shared some history about the disability movement, questioned why disabled people are still marginalised in 2012, and explored language as a possible bridging tool in the search for equality.

  • Need for a New Approach

    Created by Martyn.Sibley | 09 August 2012 | 13:45:01

    Disability is a social problem – fact! The real question is 'how do we solve this'? It's quite a big and complex puzzle, created after many years of historical goings on. So, we have to first ask why have disabled people been isolated, marginalised and oppressed for so long? Why do we have buildings and transport systems without full access? Why are disabled people less likely to be employed, to participate in sports and to be socially included?
