Aideen was a delight to welcome into school. The assemblies she delivered were both enlightening and entertaining. The children were encouraged to participate, and she was very accommodating answering all these questions. Thank you, Aideen, for taking the time to come into school and talk to all our children.

Another happy school that I visited before half-term to deliver two disability awareness assemblies. If you know a school who might like me to visit, please mention my name.

Milestone Moment! Today I'm celebrating something truly brilliant - I've had the privilege of speaking to over 5000 pupils in schools across the country about disability and inclusion! Here's to the next 5000!

As someone with Cerebral Palsy, sharing my story isn't just about raising awareness - it's about helping young people see disability through a lens of strength, possibility and humanity.
Thank-you to all the schools who have welcomed me & listened to my story.

Disability Awareness in Alternative Provision Schools - Aideen Blackborough Disability Awareness in Alternative Provision Schools Delivering disability awareness sessions in an alternative provision school

This was my first time delivering my assembly in an alternative provision school and I wasn't really sure what to expect. But I learnt so much but especially to believe in what I do!

"It was fantastic having Aideen in to talk to our pupils about cerebral palsy and living with a disability. It really opened their eyes to the impact a physical disability can have on someone and the adaptations that are necessary to carry out what they would consider to be standard 'day-to-day' tasks. Aideen's presentation was informative and relatable despite highlighting her own experiences. Aideen answered all questions posed to her with honesty and humility which our pupils received well. Since Aideen's sessions, we have also noticed a big reduction in discriminatory language towards those with disabilities. We would love to welcome Aideen back to our school to work with our pupils again. Thank you Aideen!" The Heights, Burnley Personal Development Lead

I visit schools up and down the country delivering Disability Awareness Assemblies in Schools. The feedback from the children, teachers & parents is always really positive and I'm thrilled that the work I'm doing is having such a noticeable difference!
