Hi! I am a first year student at York University, pursuing a specialized honors degree in Cognitive Science. Having worked with youth and adults with disabilities for over 5 years under Best Buddies Canada, as well as adult respite centers, I have a passion for working with folks of all abilities and backgrounds. I look forward to interacting with our growing Disable the Difference community.
Vikita Mehta

Hi! I am a McMaster University student studying Arts and Science. I have worked with youth and adults with disabilities for multiple years at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital and Camp Kennebec, and I greatly enjoy learning from individuals of all abilities and backgrounds. Inclusive and accessible education is also a passion of mine. I hope to continue to connect with more families and advocates as our community at Disable the Difference grows!
