Stories

While a lot of research is conducted in the field of disability using statistics and other medicalised forms of data, we rarely hear about the experiences of people who live with disability. The participants below have shared their stories as part of the 1000 Voices project. If you are a researcher, service provider, or policy maker who would like to analyse or publish data from this site please contact us at 1000voices AT griffith.edu.au.
