ACHIEVE - The National Post-Secondary Education Disability Network - is astounded that Mojo Mathers has been asked to fund her own note-taking services.
"While New Zealand has some of the legislation, clearly the proof is not in the pudding when Parliament cannot get it right. Formal rights are merely words on paper until enacted by people who care", says Melissa Lethaby, National President of ACHIEVE.
It has been a fantastic year for ACHIEVE and all the hard work that has occurred during the past two years has well and truly paid off. We have spent a considerable amount of time rebuilding, and I am proud to say that we are now performing at a level that once made ACHIEVE a very powerful organisation. The year began in November 2010 and it was wonderful to be able to host a Professional Development Conference.
Anyone with an interest in post-secondary education and training for people with impairments can join. Corporate and individual membership is available.
ACHIEVE's membership may include:
ACHIEVE advocates and lobbies for people with a range of impairments who are transitioning into or studying in post-secondary education or training. For example; at a university, polytechnic, private training establishment, wananga or college of education.
