The Future of Disability Services - Episode 4 - The Future of Disability Services % Clare FM

Welcome to this week’s episode of The Future of Disability Services on Clare FM.

Irish Wheelchair Association is one of Ireland’s leading representative organisations and service providers for people with physical and sensory disabilities.

The organisation was founded with the belief that everyone should be able to live a life of choice and equality.

Across all of its work, IWA advocates for the inclusion of wheelchair-accessible accommodation in all housing developments, alongside appropriate assistive technology and personal assistant support services.

Since its foundation in 1960, IWA has influenced public housing policy and, as an approved housing body, has developed and managed high-quality housing in a person-centred way. We also support individuals with specific housing queries.

Jean Coleman is Irish Wheelchair Association’s National Housing Programme Manager.
