Disability & Me

“Never give up, raise your voice, so it’s heard and if you want something, go and get it. Define your own odds. And remember – “it’s not how long it takes you to get there – it’s about getting there in the end!””

Tyler’s Story is one of strength and resilience. Diagnosed at a young age with dyscalculia, dyslexia and hard of hearing, she faced bullies and unsupportive learning environments.

When she started work, despite all her achievements, people continued to try and bring her down. However, Tyler has come through the other side stronger than ever. Whatever life throws at her, she prevails, and her story will make you think twice about putting her in a box.

Tyler is a young lady with multiple disabilities and has faced a lot of scrutiny for following her dreams and faced many people who didn’t believe in her. Despite all the obstacles in life, Tyler is fierce and determined, and will not be defeated by anything or anyone who think she not capable of the things she wants.

Tyler aims to encourage more young people like herself to be braver and fiercer and to go against all odds when they come against them.

Tyler aims for the government to step in and make the workplace more inclusive to those with disabilities, without companies just ticking a box in their recruitment process or in their staffing levels. Tyler wants to see more disabled or those with disabilities in management positions, and more training in the workplace about how to work with those with disabilities – whether that be understanding how their mind works or learning BSL – whatever training may be offered. Tyler wants more understanding amongst colleagues, not criticism.
