DESCRIPTION
A rich collection of writing from those negotiating disability in their lives - a group whose voices are not heard often enough
'My body and its place in the world seemed quite normal to me.'
'I didn't grow up disabled, I grew up with a problem. A problem those around me wanted to fix.'
'We have all felt that uncanny sensation that someone is watching us.'
'The diagnosis helped but it didn't fix everything.'
'Don't fear the labels.'
One in five Australians have a disability. And disability presents itself in many ways. Yet disabled people are still underrepresented in the media and in literature.
Growing Up Disabled in Australia is the fifth book in the highly acclaimed, bestselling Growing Up series. It includes interviews with prominent Australians such as Senator Jordon Steele-John and Paralympian Isis Holt, poetry and graphic art, as well as more than 40 original pieces by writers with a disability or chronic illness.
Contributors include Dion Beasley, Astrid Edwards, Jessica Walton, Carly-Jay Metcalfe, Gayle Kennedy and El Gibbs.

FAQ
What’s your warranty?
We’ve got you covered when it comes to our footwear! We want to make sure you have complete peace of mind, which is why we offer a warranty that lasts a solid ninety (90) days from the original date of purchase when you buy directly from everyhuman.com.au. That’s right, we’ve got your back!
Now, let’s keep it real. Our warranty is super awesome, but it doesn’t cover everything under the sun. Unfortunately, any damage caused by neglect, improper care, accidents, or even normal wear and tear like those little scuffs, scratches, or faded colors that come with everyday use is not covered.
Oh, and we want to give you a heads up. If you happen to use AFOs (ankle-foot orthoses) or have a unique gait, it’s possible that there might be some extra wear and tear on the shoes. We totally get it, but just know that this kind of additional usage isn’t typically considered a warrantable issue for this particular product.
