    Lizzie Eastham and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look through a different lens.

    On this week’s show

    “What do YOU do?”

    This sounds like an innocuous question, often asked at social gatherings and parties - but it can be a sore-point if you have a disability.

    Four of our friends talk about their experiences finding work; keeping it; and, in one case, going in their own direction.
