Stories

Families have stories of their family members' everyday lives in community which inform and inspire. This page is a welcoming space for sharing our stories - whatever your age or community.

"Sue's Journey to Finding the Good Things In Life" published in the first issue of an online journal "What Were You Thinking" by Durham Association for Family Respite Servicesm (DAFRS) in Oshawa. It includes an interesting interview with Executive Director Peter Dill describing how the idea for story sharing germinated.

Three insightful stories appeared in the Toronto Star:

Nancy Barber's inclusive life in the community, supported by strong relationships and individualized funding. (Leslie Scrivener)

Rebecca Beayni's valued life as a community connector. (Helen Henderson)

Skye Wattie was inspired to cross the country this summer to raise awareness and support for alternative and augmentative communication. (Helen Henderson)
