DRNZ informal opinion poll of disabled New Zealanders

Kia ora and welcome to this informal opinion poll of your views about what a great life looks like for you.
 
As you provide comments relating to the questions in this poll, have a think about your answers in relation to the eight Enabling Good Lives principles of: self-determination, beginning early, person centred, ordinary life outcomes, Mainstream first, mana enhancing, easy to use and relationship building.
 
Your feedback will be collated and used to inform work DRNZ is undertaking to build a resource for parents of disabled children, and to illustrate what a great life could look like for them in years to come.
 
Participation in this opinion poll is completely voluntary and anonymous. However, it is important that you check the applicable gender, ethnicity, and impairment boxes, so that we know your feedback comes from a diverse range of perspectives.
