Imagine a world where digital barriers are shattered, and inclusivity reigns supreme. That's exactly what Rosie Putland, the visionary behind Modality Co, is striving to achieve across the nation. But here's where it gets inspiring: Rosie, who proudly identifies as disabled, is not just breaking barriers—she's redefining what it means to thrive in the digital age. Her journey, as highlighted in a poignant article by The Advocate (https://www.theadvocate.com.au/story/8931381/burnie-girl-denied-support-school-despite-complex-needs/), showcases the power of resilience and innovation. At Modality Co, Rosie is pioneering solutions that make digital spaces more accessible for everyone, turning challenges into opportunities. And this is the part most people miss: her work isn’t just about technology—it’s about empowering individuals and communities to connect, create, and succeed on their own terms.
