Find Out More About The DiSA Services

Living with a disability can be difficult and sometimes cause depression. Disability is a serious matter, but it sometimes helps to see the lighter side of our disabilities and the people who don’t understand them. “Laughter is the best medicine”.

Below are some cartoons of some true & some not so true funny stories involving people with disabilities. Cartoons by Alan Downey (Quadriplegic)

Please Note: These cartoons are the property of Alan Downey & The Rolling Inspiration Magazine, who commissioned & published them. They are not to be downloaded or printed without the permission of Alan Downey. See Contact Page for details.

Over the last 10 years DiSA have featured in a number of Radio Interviews. Through these interviews we not only promote the free service that we supply but also create awareness for the rights of persons with disabilities:

  • At a Mall Near You - Part 2
  • At an Aquarium in Cape Town
  • A Night at the Local Pub
  • Access is a right!
  • Use the right specialist for a job!
  • Finding DiSA, the key of knowledge, empowering individuals to live more independent, informed, and fulfilling lives.

ABOUT US
DiSA is a non-profit organisation (NPO) dedicated to empowering persons with disabilities by providing easy access to information, advocating for inclusion, and supporting equitable access to both the built and digital environments.
