#3.06 How Disability Support Led Brendan Waters to a Career Outside


Listen Later

Brendan Waters set up his disability service provider Limitless Ability because he believed disability care should be individually tailored to each client. From group camping to gold panning, listen on to hear how he is providing people with disabilities the same coming of age experiences as everyone else.

In this week's episode, join We Are Explorers host Amy Fairall  as she chats to Brendan to unpack how he got into the industry, the cookie cutter approach large scale providers take, and what he thinks is most important for people living with disabilities. 

In this chat we cover:  

  • Brendans Journey into disability care
  • What makes Limitless Ability different from other providers
  • The activities Limitless Ability takes its clients on
  • The benefits of getting outdoors
  • The isolation that living with a disability can create
  • Why the outdoors is so powerful
  • Why family and friends can't offer this experience
  • The importance of independence
  • Terrible Trojans All Abilities Rugby Union team
  • How to find similar providers
