YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

She has her own flat, her own small business, and recently hired her first employee. These achievements are significant for any young person. But they are especially so for Emma Lynam and her mum.

In her early twenties, Emma is unable to read and write, and communicates through sign language.

But she now has eight clients, lives independently, does her own grocery shopping and is earning enough that her disability pension has been decreased.

Story by ABC Open Producer Michael Bromage and Kathleen Calderwood. Read more about Emma here
