Family and Friends

1000 Voices is for people with disabilities and their families and friends. Because disability is a social experience we are making space here for stories from a number of perspectives that affect and are affected by disability. As the project progresses, this page will hold resources prepared by and for families and friends of people with disabilities.
 

Policy and Practice

One aspect of this research project is to determine the degree to which life experience stories from people with disabilities and their families can be incorporated in future funding and service decisions made by governments in Australia and internationally. This website provides a resource for human service practitioners, educators, and others who work with people with disabilities and over time this page will feature resources specifically designed for policy makers and practitioners.
