Ability Today

 Getting more disabled people into Journalism.

Ability Today is an online platform which provides news, resources and education support for disabled people.  Grant Logan, the founder and CEO of Ability Today adds: “our mission is to inform, educate, and inspire the disabled community by sharing relevant news, opportunities, and personal stories of triumph”.

  Ability Today has been working with the NCTJ to provide Journalism courses to disabled people world-wide for 5 years now and it has been a big success, Grant explains: “I am incredibly proud of the students who have studied through Ability Today's ADJs. Watching their journey and seeing their successes has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. These individuals have not only excelled academically but have also become strong advocates and voices within the disabled community.”

 Grant set up Ability Today after suffering from a spinal cord injury after a road accident in 2003. He adds: “I started Ability Today out of a desire to bridge the information gap for people with disabilities. When I faced my own challenges, I realised there was a lack of centralised resources and news tailored to our community”.
