The project seeks to empower C.A.R.E. Centre clients to learn and participate according to their abilities, foster their own artistic expression and promote visibility and understanding of what it means to live with disability. Clients will develop skills to record and produce their own podcasts well into the future.

“Individuals with disabilities have so much to communicate and are very moved by sounds and music,” says C.A.R.E. Centre Executive Director, Olivia Quesnel. “The opportunity for our non-verbal clients to work with artists and musicians to create podcasts and to tell their stories is exciting. This project will enable those who often are not heard to express their thoughts and share their experiences.”
