Our Approach to Disability Inclusion
Celebrating Disability, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Every organisation is different — and so are the barriers disabled people face. That’s why we take the time to get to know your goals, challenges and culture before recommending the right approach.
We combine professional knowledge with lived experience to create training, consultancy and talks that are relevant, practical and genuinely impactful. Every session is interactive, tailored, and shaped around the real-world experiences of disabled people.

What Our Partners Say
Businesses we work with often say the biggest impact isn’t just what they learn, it’s how confident they feel applying it.
Esi is a really engaging speaker who brings to life how to think differently about disability inclusion – empowering both disabled colleagues and allies to leverage the strengths of disabled colleagues whilst being cognisant of the barriers that may inadvertently be placed in their way.

Esi is a wonderful speaker and addition to any panel conference. She is open, transparent and funny and really willing to share her own experiences to raise awareness and teach others. I’ve learnt so much from Esi and would definitely recommend her and Celebrating Disability.

Esi is an extremely warm and engaging facilitator who helped our team explore language, biases and the actions we can take to make our workplace and community events more accessible, engaging and inclusive. I would 100% recommend this training to organisations across all sectors.
