In the case of Jacob Pichler, however, the interaction he has with his six and 11-year-old brothers, Josiah and Levi, is a significant part of his life.
Jacob, from Kyabram, has a disability and is home schooled. He was among many people, either with a disability in involved in caring, that attended the Kyabram District Health Service’s International Day of People with a Disability event.
Face painting, bubble blowing, games and information sessions were part of the three-hour celebration on the lawns of the health service.
