‘I will never accept my disability’

ACQUIRED brain injury survivor Siobhán O’Brien, 29, says she has been able to cope with her disability because she hopes one day to overcome it.

Siobhán, from Stabannan, Co Louth, was involved in a traffic accident the day before she was due to graduate with a master’s degree in social work in October 2001.

“I will never accept my injury because I associate acceptance with giving up and that is something I will never do,” said Siobhán.
