A ground breaking pilot study of 100 health professionals reveals a harsh reality: only 11% scored above the awareness threshold on disability discrimination. The majority — experienced, well-intentioned clinicians — scored 50% or less.
It’s not about bad intentions. It’s about lack of awareness — and the real risk of inadvertently discriminating against disabled patients.
Dr. Andy Tyerman, Honorary Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist, is a pioneer in brain injury rehabilitation with over 40 years of experience. In retirement, Andy has turned his expertise toward a mission of justice and equity — creating the Disability Discrimination Awareness Questionnaire (DDAQ) and other resources now changing the landscape of clinical practice.
