Dr Damien Price
Consultant / Facilitator

Joe Darcy
Founder
Joe also has a background in digital media and video production.
After an off the cuff comment Tracey made while on set about putting kids in chairs at schools, Joe took his two basketball crazy sons to a wheelchair sports night with Suncoast Spinners. The impact of these experiences combined with years of working with Damien Price on education and immersion projects, were the foundation for bringing together the unOther team and creating the first Beyond the Chair program.
