Life Stream is now recognised as the leading provider of sport and recreation programs for people with an intellectual disability in Queensland. Life Stream works at two levels:
The community
Our Association assists state sporting organisations and other community groups to develop appropriate programs for people with an intellectual disability.
With individuals
People with intellectual disabilities have the same needs and desires to engage in recreation, leisure and sport as everyone else. Society has begun to acknowledge these issues in recent times, however there is still a lot of education and awareness required to ensure integration into community sport, recreation and leisure is achieved for people with an intellectual disability.
