OUR HISTORY

Bridging gaps between the fragmented disability community, we work together to build capacity, influence policy & decision-making, and improve the quality of life for persons with disabilities.

AAN tables bring together key stakeholders to address issues and challenges, understand barriers and develop action plans to address issues affecting person with disabilities.
