The Disability Diaries With Steven Vine
I am a disabled man and will be talking to both abled and disabled individuals about their challenges and how they overcome them. Also talking to other people in the disabled community (caregivers, healthcare professionals, advocates).
If you have any concerns, comments, or questions, you are welcome to contact Steven at sgv44isback@gmail.com and on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565452984831&mibextid=LQQJ4d. Steven would love to hear from anyone who would like to tell their story.

Steve and Chris talk with Emily and David. Emily Price is the Program Coordinator at CVS (Community Ventures Society) a non-profit organization in Port Moody, British Columbia. The mission of CVS is as follows (from their website): 'To open doors to opportunities for children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families so that they live the life they choose. We are committed to enhancing the quality of our services through advocacy, innovation and collaboration. We strive to inspire the community to join us in creating positive social change.'
David is a day program attendee of CVS. He is non-verbal, has cerebral palsy, and he uses AAC (augmentative communication device), which is an ipad with special picture keys and a keyboard that provides the voiceover for what David types into the device. We hope that you can take the time to listen to this episode and appreciate the work that both Emily and David do in the community. Home - Community Ventures Society
