People like us

What do the lives of people living with disabilities look like?

How do they fill their days?

Who are the people in their lives?

Where do they live?

Do they all live in care?

Do all their lives look the same?

What can and can't they do?

What is there role in the community?

Should we just smile and accept their art for what it is?

People like us!

People like ALL of us!

Look at your lives 

and see our lives reflected 

in your own lives.

People like us,

are people like you!

We are sons and daughters,

brothers and sisters,

fathers and mothers,

uncles and aunts,

and grandparents too!

We are people like you!

We're the songwriters and poets,

actors and dancers, the creators of art. 

The storytellers and play writers.

We attend schools, TAFE and universities, 

we're the creators of books and imaginary worlds,

we write and create on key boards. 

We are people like you.

We are decision makers,

voters, law makers and lawyers,

We are chiefs, accountants and

IT specialists.

We are teachers and coaches,

We are employees and employers,

We are consumers and tax payers,

We are people like you!

We are sports men and women,

and the lovers of sport,

the footy, the cricket and tennis too.

We spectators at the races,

Whether two or four legged,

We like a bet on the tab,

a drink with our mates and

a game of darts after work. 

We are people like you!

Come and learn more about 

the lives of people living with 

disabilities and the potential

these people have to enrich the 

lives of our community.
