At Disability Responsiveness New Zealand, we can:

• Produce and facilitate workshops – for disabled people who want to learn about how to focus on potential, not impairment, through using the DRNZ Life Action Planning tool. You will leave the training equipped with the knowledge necessary to make critical life choices for yourself, with assertiveness and confidence.

• Provide DRNZ Personalised mentoring Programmes – one-on-one coaching for disabled people who may prefer individual training. The eight-week programme examines leadership potential, future development opportunities and supports participants to learn and develop the skills needed to enhance their lives.

• Organise and facilitate focus groups and forums about all aspects of managing disability issues. For example: the development of particular life-skills; learning about systems and processes useful for self-advocacy; contributing to various Government Strategies or learning about the United Nations convention on the Rights of Persons with disabilities.
