This website is to explore the dynamics of the relationships that are forged by people with disabilities and the workers who provide necessary support. The website goal is the further education of those directly and indirectly related to disability work. The aim is to identify the pathways of courteous, mutually beneficial and helpful relating and partnering. The pathway needs to be identified so that by travelling it together, both parties can truly share life together. The website goal is to enhance the mutual enhancement of such relationships.

The potential benefits for developing such mutually shared partnerships are substantial. The "flow-on" will be to all those in society who are indirectly and directly related to disability. For example, there is an unlimited possibility for the transference of abilities, which will create a new potential for social inclusion in a globally dynamic, merit-based society. In the past it would seem that being able-bodied was the pre-requisite for being meritorious, but today the separation between able-bodied and disabled may have been blurred, at least to some degree, through education and the provision of much needed support through various avenues supported by changes to government policies and regulations.
