This Refugee Week (June 14 – 20), we are highlighting the practical ways we can support clients who are excluded from or waiting for mainstream funding and disability services. We’ll share creative, “outside-the-box” strategies, explain the key differences between chronic ilness and disability, and show how to use functional reports to advocate for these clients.
