Speaking For Ourselves
An oral history of people with cerebral palsy - listen to interviews online
''Speaking for Ourselves is an exciting and valuable project. Why? Because disabled people are not included in social history. As a disabled woman with cerebral palsy, this opportunity to record our history is long overdue.''
Speaking for Ourselves is a two-year oral history project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, to communicate the living heritage of disabled people to a wider audience.

The project has trained 16 disabled volunteer interviewers to record life-story interviews with people with cerebral palsy over 50.
These interviews form part of a collection at the British Library Sound Archive, which was used to produce a video and learning resource for schools.
