Hidden Disabilities Consulting

Many people and businesses make the mistake of thinking a disabled car parking spot or an access ramp is all there is to being disability confident.

An equal number of people also make the mistake of assuming all disabilities and impairments are immediately visible and can easily be assessed and handled.

However, the truth is that there are many out there living with ‘hidden disabilities’, which are not immediately apparent. These conditions can be just as debilitating as conditions which are more outwardly apparent to the general public, but those living with hidden conditions are often at the mercy of a society and infrastructure that forgets about them.

RHS Consultancy are experienced disability consultants, advising private businesses, government organisations, care homes, and educational facilities on ways to improve their approach to disabled and impaired people.

We take particular pride in our ability to understand the needs and wants of those living with hidden disabilities and we are skilled and experienced in communicating those needs to business owners and employers.

Hidden disabilities differ and can include everything from a range of visual and auditory impairments, to issues such as mental illness and chronic pain.

Often, the daily struggles people living with hidden disabilities face are exacerbated by the fact that their conditions are not immediately apparent to the public. As a result, there is rarely a helping hand waiting to assist them or a sympathetic ear to hear their problems and offer advice and guidance.

At RHS Consultancy we can help you understand and address the issues of hidden disabilities to help your employees achieve the most for your company and themselves.

Our approach to disability consultancy is about crafting social model solutions to medical model problems. In other words, we help your business better serve the disabled members of your community by fundamentally changing how you view disability.

We help you find unique solutions to the problems faced by disabled and impaired citizens by shifting the conversation from what can’t be done, to what can be done. This is especially important when approaching the issues faced by those with hidden disabilities, where a unique, individualised approach is often needed.
