I first established Your Options Understood (Y.O.U) back in 2015.  At this point i was nearing completion of my PhD from the University of the West of Scotland. 

I felt that this was the right time to use my lived experience of living with Cerebral Palsy (CP) to assist and support other disabled people and families to overcome the barriers and challenges that disability often brings.  Y.O.U and I aim to ensure that they can access the right support to enable them to live the life that they want to lead.

Y.O.U and I use my lived experience to support employers and businesses to understand real inclusion and what it should look like for them and how to implement it, ensuring that they are inclusive for all. We advise employers and businesses how to employ and retain a diverse workforce and to be equipped to confidently serve a wide range of customers and clients.

Due to my lived experience of disability Y.O.U and I have a passion for changing the narrative for disabled people.
We believe that disabled people should be able to have their voices heard and be able to reflect their own identity in what ever way works for them.  Ultimately we believe that disabled people should never be defined or labelled by their disability or diagnosis.

So whether you are a disabled person or family living with disability requiring assistance to access the support you need to live the life you want to lead, or business/employer seeking guidance on understanding what inclusion means for your organisation, please get in touch...

Y.O.U and I look forward to working with you!
