This model is based on disability integration from a position of community strength and support. This is an alternative to the "assimilation" model that focuses on individuals, rather than groups that form through the common affinity of disability.

There are several strands of work and services provided by TDV.

The majority of the work is in the arena of disability arts. This is achieved through engaging people with disabilities in arts workshops, performances, and public celebratory events, many of which provide an opportunity for disability and mainstream communities & events to integrate, share & celebrate cultural diversity.

TDV also offers project development, event and production management: from shaping initial concepts, to coordinating teams and resources to stage your event (including stages, sound systems, technical staff, installations & performances).
