What motivates us to respond to disability is important. Is it pity, anxiety, care...etc? It's good to be conscious of this. Disability As Diversity course of the Postgraduate Diploma at the Disability Studies Division at University of Cape Town.

Those that want to help often don't want to take the risk of being the first to try because of failure. However, failing is also a sign of success for one of the ways to learn that this or that solution will not work is when we fail. So, take the risk, work with vulnerable groups, if you fail, we have succeeded because we have now learnt not to use that method ~ Critical Priorities in Disability and Development.

Your good intentions are not enough, you have to genuinely listen to those you want to help, listen to how they need the solution and not how you want it and involve them to own the process. It has to be their project with your support ~ Critical Priorities in Disability and Development, a course of the Postgraduate Diploma in Disability Studies at UCT.

Freedom is important but does it have limits? When your version of freedom does not lead to happiness, joy, love, respect for others, acceptance of differences then maybe it's time to re-consider if you may not have reached the limit of your version of freedom ~ Disability As Diversity of the Disability Studies Division at UCT.

Because we have multiple identities which manifest in multiple ways in multiple places and multiple times, we come to see that if care is not taken, we might also be complicit in perpetuating multiple forms of discrimination ~ Disability As Diversity PG Dip course of the Disability Studies Division at UCT
