New publication: See beyond the disability

Scott features in a new publication, See beyond the disability

Scott (pictured) features in a new publication, See beyond the disability, to encourage Queenslanders to promote inclusion
of people with a disability in all aspects of community life.

"We just want to partake in and have the same opportunities to live in our community," Scott says.

"We are not asking for anything special or different from anyone else."
