The sunflower is displayed by persons living with a non-visible disability. It can be seen on lanyards, particularly on public transport, where staff are trained to recognise and understand its purpose. I have created four presentations where I share my own lived experience of non-visible disability. They address the challenges of day to day living and participating in employment and running a business, with each having its own target audience.

This presentation is for participants in the School Leavers Employment Supports (SLES) program. I talk about different types of disability, my own journey, how I faced challenges and wins in the workplace and changes in my career from my intial ambitions to work for an airline to being self-employed.
The focus of this presentation is on attitudes towards and perceptions about persons with disabilities. The approach is more interractive than other presentations and students are encouraged to participate and discuss the information I am presenting. Content is adapted to the age group and approved by the teacher prior to presentation delivery.
