When it comes to disability, it’s very easy to focus on what you cannot do, or what you can no longer do. This guide invites you to shift that focus. It is about recognising what you can do, and clearly articulating the skills, strengths, and competencies you bring.
A strengths statement is not about ignoring barriers or pretending disability doesn’t exist. It’s about confidently describing your value, experience, and capability – often because of, not despite, your lived experience.
This guide will take you step by step through how to create your own strengths statement. You can use the attached downloadable and editable template to create your personal strengths statement.
