Clarity of vision: a compass for the journey

In this video presentation from Wendy Stroeve, a parent and passionate advocate for inclusion, shares how developing a clear vision for her son with disability became a powerful tool for pursuing a life of purpose, contribution and connection. 

Wendy emphasizes that such a life doesn’t happen by chance but through intentional action guided by a strong belief in what’s possible. Using the analogy of a compass, Wendy illustrates how a well-defined vision can help families navigate toward a typical, valued life for their child – one filled with meaningful relationships, employment and community participation. Her message encourages all families to hold onto hope and actively shape futures where people with disability can thrive alongside their peers.
