Hello!

It is so lovely to meet you!

My name is Satria Arbai, and I am a 19-year-old guy from Melbourne. I am your typical teenager who enjoys traveling, listening to music and podcasts, hiking and indulging in my favourite foods.

I am a driven disability advocate, content creator, and workshop facilitator with a passion for helping people better interact with and become better allies for people with disabilities.

I was born with Cerebral Palsy, and I have navigated the ins and outs of people's unconscious biases and ableism.

I believe that it can be easy to subconsciously engage in ableism on a daily basis, and whilst this can have negative effects on everyone living with a disability, I believe that if we start making simple changes in our lives, as well as in the ways we approach and interact with people with disabilities, we can strive for a world where people with disabilities can live a fulfilling life.

As a content creator, I provide insight into my life as a young adult living with a disability while navigating an ableist world. I have shone a light on ableism and discrimination as a prominent barrier for people with disabilities. Using my critical thinking skills, I strategically structure my content to provide a comprehensive overview of the issue and devise a clear 'Call to Action' for readers.

I am working on creating a range of practical resources to help people understand disability and unconscious bias and accommodate them in their interpersonal interactions.

A highlight in this role has been the creation of the ALAN acronym, which consists of four steps that I believe are fundamental to adhere to when interacting with people with disabilities.

As a freelance workshop facilitator, I design and deliver interactive workshops to various organisations, including schools, workplaces, and community groups.

I provide a comprehensive overview of the ALAN acronym and demonstrate how to use it to promote inclusion in interactions and relationships relevant to their specific environment and within a broader context.

Within these workshops, I help attendees consolidate their learning through interactive learning activities, group discussions, and collaborative workshopping.

I also give attendees the opportunity to ask any questions about the content discussed in these workshops and about my personal experience of disability and ableism as a whole. I aim to create a space where no question is off limits, and I encourage questions about 'taboo topics' as they break the stigma and further challenge attendees' misconceptions.

If you are interested in booking a workshop for your organisation, please get in touch. I can't wait to hear from you!
