Disability Awareness Speech:
Disability Awareness Speech - Kawaii Doll Decora at The Rotary of Great Aycliffe:
In this Disability Awareness Speech, Sarah Wingfield blends personal story, humour, and advocacy to challenge common misconceptions about disability. She shares her lived experience of navigating chronic pain, barriers in daily life, and society’s attitudes toward disability.
The speech introduces the social model of disability, highlighting how barriers—rather than impairments—create exclusion. It addresses accessibility, representation in media, and employment discrimination, while also calling out harmful policies that silence disabled voices.
Through honest storytelling, Sarah encourages the audience to think differently, act with empathy, and commit to building a more inclusive society where disabled people are seen, heard, and valued.
