Storybook - Breaking down barriers
Sharing stories is one of the most powerful ways we learn and develop our understanding.
As part of our commitment to working together toward a more inclusive Queensland community we have gathered a collection of stories written by everyday Queenslanders involved in the disability sector.
From people with a disability themselves, to families, friends, carers and services providers, our storybook provides an insight to the lives and experiences of real people, in their own words.
