Hello and welcome to Invis-ability, coming to you live on International Day of People with Disability!
A few months back, Phil Hayes-Brown, the CEO of Wallara, a disability support provider in Victoria and Don Elgin, a former Paralympian
and the Head of Wallara Online, started working on this podcast: Invis-ability.
The podcast explores the experience of intellectual disability.
There's a statistic we use a lot to explain the idea behind the show. It
bears repeating, because it never fails to surprise. The ID community accounts for roughly 30% of NDIS recipients. But the stories from that 30% are usually unheard when we discuss disability.
We started Invis-ability so that people with lived experience of ID would have the opportunity to share their stories, like your guests will do LIVE today.
EPISODE FIVE'S GUESTS:
