Consulting and Educational Programs

Thanks to Jake’s Law, New Jersey will soon welcome 97 new inclusive playgrounds. Our View offers consulting services to counties, townships, and municipalities across the state that have received grant funding to build these inclusive play spaces. We also support communities outside of New Jersey that are developing inclusive playgrounds or other accessible play experiences. Our consulting focuses on the importance of inclusive play, effective fundraising strategies, advocacy efforts, and outreach tools to help generate awareness and community support for your project.

The Our View Podcast is a thought-provoking show that explores the many dimensions of life with disabilities—both visible and non-apparent. Hosted by Our View Executive Director Arthur Aston, a wheelchair user living with Spina Bifida, the podcast creates space for honest conversations about physical disabilities, mental health, and neurodiversity. Each episode features guests who either have disabilities themselves or are closely connected to someone who does, offering firsthand insights, advocacy stories, and lived experiences. Available on all major podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts and Spotify, with full video episodes streaming on the Our View YouTube channel.

Our View offers engaging, assembly-style presentations tailored for schools—from elementary through higher education. These sessions provide students with a meaningful opportunity to learn about disabilities, including their prevalence, causes, anti-bullying, and the importance of inclusion and inclusive play. Students also gain practical guidance on how to build friendships and interact respectfully with people who have disabilities—all shared from the lived experience of a person with a disability.

Our View offers customized training sessions for companies designed to educate employees on disability-related topics in the workplace. Each session includes an informative presentation covering subjects such as the prevalence of disability, inclusive hiring practices, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and its workplace implications, disability etiquette, and best practices for interacting with disabled colleagues and consumers. Additional topics can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your organization.
