Jessica – enjoying her work

17 May 2018

“People with disabilities shouldn’t be called ‘special needs’. We’ve got needs. What makes it so special?

I think employers should give people with disabilities a chance. We’ve got abilities. We can do anything.”

This film is part of our Shared Stories film series.

The films celebrate personal choices in living a good life. Featuring people with disability from all walks of life from right across NSW, each film was a truly collaborative effort between film maker and storyteller.

We hope you enjoy watching these films as much as we do.
