Show Notes
Having a child with a disability is a challenge for most families. When Nicole Torres Byrne faced a Gibraltar, 26 years ago, with very little in place to support families with disabled children, she decided she needed to do something about it. She met her dear friend Agnes Valarino the then chairperson of the Gibraltar Disability Society, founded in 1966 by a group of parents with children with disabilities and immediately Nicole decided to get involved. She quit her job and decided to get fully involved in how the Society could improve and help local families. She is now a Supported Internship & Employment Co-ordinator and one of her roles is to help young adults with disabilities find a job and lead as normal a life as possible. Listen to her remarkable empowering journey of resilience and determination. This podcast is sponsored by the Gibraltar Disability Society.
