What people say about us:

“I think you do a fantastic job, the world is a culturally richer and more amazing place because DAO exists”

“DAO provides underrepresented people with a platform to express themselves.”

“I think you provide a very valuable resource and it is wonderful to see that it is such a thriving community.”

“A remarkable resource. It is now the only journal of record for the di

sability arts movement, and as such, a highly important resource for those of us who wish to follow new developments in this area.”

“[DAO is] a link to the disability arts world which I think is vital in terms of forming a positive identity as a disabled person. It's important to me because I am housebound so cannot access things in the traditional manner.”
