Fordwrite

Tell us about everything you wish your parents had known about disability!

Disability Responsiveness New Zealand Ltd, in association with Fordwrite, want to hear from up to eight disabled people from a diverse range of impairments, ages, ethnicities and backgrounds, about what it was like for you as a Deaf or disabled person growing up in Aotearoa/New Zealand at any time in the past (be it recent past or way back when). This will be discussed as part of a two-hour hui to be hosted by Chris Ford from Fordwrite, on Thursday, December 9 at 7pm. Chris is facilitating this initial stage of the project via Zoom.

As a thank you to all participants, we’ll send out $50 grocery vouchers as an acknowledgement of your valuable time and contribution.

All participant feedback will be anonymous and will form the basis of a new resource being developed by Disability Responsiveness New Zealand Ltd for parents and whanau of young disabled people, to positively highlight what a good life might look like for their disabled family member.

Essentially, we want participants in this zoom hui to tell us: ‘everything you wish your parents had known or been told about impairment and disability, before or right after you were born?’

So, if you wish to take part, please email [email protected] by no later than 5pm, Wednesday December 8th to let him know. If you require an NZ Sign Language interpreter, please also advise this in your email. Chris will then select the participants and send the Zoom code for the meeting to them by email.

A fantastic testimonial for Chris Ford:

“Disability responsiveness New Zealand Ltd (DRNZ) has worked in collaboration with Chris Ford over the past five years. Prior to the establishment of DRNZ in 2016, I worked with Chris on a range of projects in the disability sector. Chris reported to me when we both undertook research and produced papers for the Convention Coalition Monitoring Group over two years. I greatly enjoyed collaborating with Chris and so have sought him out on several occasions to undertake various writing assignments for DRNZ. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Chris to anyone seeking such services and am happy to be contacted to discuss specific roles Chris may be considered for.”

- Pam MacNeill, Disability Responsiveness New Zealand

Chris Ford established Fordwrite in 2001. Based in Dunedin, New Zealand, the business has provided professional writing and consultancy services to many clients both domestically and globally since that time.

Chris's number one passion is writing, which he takes great pride in. He has amassed a fair amount of published copy over the years. In fact, Chris Ford and Fordwrite have been flexible enough to turn their hand to almost anything down the years from turning out articles on politics and current affairs through to outlining the latest trends in real estate and to talking about Dunedin visitor attractions.

All this knowledge and experience has given Chris ideas about how to evolve Fordwrite as it readies itself to go on the next part of its business journey. He has already started this journey by adding audio transcribing experience to his repertoire and wants to impart his great public speaking skills to those who want to learn more about how to give great speeches in public – and, what’s more, he can help write them too!

So whatever writing, editing, transcribing, speech writing or disability consultancy needs you have - Fordwrite will do it! Enquire today.
