The Yes Disability Resource Centre is a first stop shop for information for the 1 in 4 new Zealanders living with a disability, their family/whanau and caregivers. They’re called ‘Yes’ because in a moment of need people are looking for an answer and if they don’t have the answer then they're going to do what New Zealanders are famous for and innovate. The Yes team believes everyone is entitled to dream and to fulfil on that dream. www.yesdisability.org.nz
