Imagine a life beyond disability services... Learn how to get more of "The Good Life".

This 2-part online workshop is for anyone who wants much more for the person with disability in their life than the limited opportunities offered by disability services. 

It is vital that you attend both sessions. The dates are:

• Part 1: Thursday, 10 February, 9.30 - 11.30am
• Part 2: Thursday, 17 February, 9.30 - 11.30am

Many people with disability spend much of their lives in disability programs and potentially miss out on accessing a full life. A clear vision and good planning are crucial to get authentic inclusion for people with disability.

In this online workshop we will explore (in two x 2 hour sessions),

• What is inclusion really? Learn to spot if something is inclusive or not, with real-life examples.
• The devaluing people with disability - how negative stereotypes and 'ableist' thinking makes for a different experience of society.
• The Good Life - What are the essentials of a 'good life'? How do we create it for people with disability?
• Let's think typical - An antidote to 'disability thinking'.
• A 'Vision' - Use this tool to plan for an inclusive life.
• Socially valued roles - Look at our lives through the roles we do, then use this perspective to see how people with disabilities can be valued in their communities.
• Self-management - What is it? How managing your supports yourself can create more choice and control.

Cost:

$35 for people with disability and families*; $50 for professionals (The fee covers both sessions)

Who is this workshop for?

Parents, family members and allies of people with disability.
