Ability Talks with Toni Mould

Workshops about disabilities with a personal touch I soon became a spokesperson for disabled students and that has guided me to starting talks/workshops.

Going to Stellenbosch University despite having Cerebral Palsy was a lifelong dream and this is where a passion for being involved in the disability field began. My involvement with disability affairs on campus as well as my determination to succeed got me noticed by the powers that be which led me to win the Rector’s Award for succeeding Against the Odds three years in a row. In my talks I cover various aspects of disability, such as the nature, effects and psychology, as well as how to interact with persons with disabilities. Each workshop is specifically tailored to the unique audience/participants.

Being able to share my journey is always a privilege. Yesterday the meeting was about sport and I was able to share my journey with sport before hitting the gym for 90mins.

Toni came and spoke to a group of us about a week ago in Franschhoek and the session was really good. It was practical, in that a few people among us were made to experience for a few hours in a small way what not having sight, or mobility in certain means. Moreover, Toni is very engaging and interacted well with us as a classroom audience, challenging us to see life from the perspective of the disabled whilst at the same time humbly admitting that her experience as a disabled person does not represent the experiences of all people with disabilities. - Vilio, MTP student

At the end of August I spent a few days at Rhenish High school speaking to Grad 10 learners about my story, teenage depression and su***de. It was truly a wonderful experience.

My Story

Living with a disability (Cerebral Palsy) in South Africa has given me an unique perspective of life. I have lived both in the ‘disabled’ world and the ‘able’ world and this helps me to understand both worlds. I often have felt that having experienced both ‘worlds’ I can form a bridge and help promote a greater understanding – an understanding that is often lacking and that leads to much misunderstanding because of the segregation that our society has encouraged up to now.

After school I went to Stellenbosch University which was a lifelong dream and this is where a passion for being involved in the disability field began. My involvement with disability affairs on campus as well as my determination to succeed in my academics and other community service got me noticed by the powers that be which led me to win the Rector’s Award for succeeding Against the Odds three years in a row. I soon became a spokesperson for disabled students and that has guided me to starting talks/workshops. After finishing my social work degree, I started a Non Profit Company called Bridging Abilities with a colleague. I have been an executive director and operations manager for nine years. The company used sport and recreation to improve the lives of persons with disabilities.

I am also a South African para-cyclist and am the only senior female competing on a tricycle in South Africa and the rest of Africa. I have competed in two World Cups and two World Championships, winning a silver medal at the 2017 World Championships and the World Cup in the WT1 category in 2016. I also have eight national titles.

My various experiences, positive and negative, have shown me how much education, awareness raising and discussion is needed. In my talks I cover various aspects of disability, such as the nature, effects, societal perceptions/misconceptions, interpersonal and intrapersonal factors/effects, as well as how to interact with persons with disabilities. I also create a safe environment where people can ask questions that they have always those about but never wanted to ask for fear of offending someone.
