In celebration of the International Day of People with a Disability, the ABC has launched a new portal, Ramp Up, to encourage online discussions and debates about issues people with disabilities face.

Ramp Up’s editor, Stella Young, draws attention to the number of Australians living with a disability, saying, “Disabilities bring challenges and amazing opportunities and Ramp Up will be the place to bring this rich, multi-layered community to life.”

She foresees a site full of essential content. “Ramp Up will feature columns from a wide range of people with disabilities that will entertain, inspire, delight and provoke.”

People are invited to give the site feedback or suggestions as it evolves and anyone interested in keeping up to date can follow Ramp Up on Twitter.

“So stick around. Let's ramp up the debate, have the discussions and raise our voices.”
