Judith Snow

Judith Snow, MA is a social inventor and an advocate for Inclusion - communities that welcome the participation of a wide diversity of people. She is also a visual artist and Founding Director of Laser Eagles, an organization making creative activity available through personal assistance to artists with diverse ability, www.lasereagles.org. Judith consults and does workshops on peace and inclusion, person centred planning, personal assistance, support circle building, family support and inclusive education. Her goal is to foster an understanding of how people with disabilities can be full participants in communities everywhere. Judith does this work out of a background of being labelled disabled herself. Among other experiences she lived in a chronic care environment for four years. With the assistance of a very strong support circle, the Joshua Committee, she was able to lobby the Ontario Government to pay directly for her attendant care. She is the first person in Canada to receive money for this support that goes with her and is not controlled by an agency or institution. This means Judith’s star can shine everywhere!
