Disability Awareness: Access and Inclusion
Advertisement
One in five Western Australians has a disability, including intellectual, mental health, cognitive, sensory or physical impairment, along with neurological difference.
So, regardless of our work role, we can assume that most of us will have some interactions with people with a disability as colleagues, clients or stakeholders.
So, join us on International Day of Persons with a Disability to improve your understanding of different types of disability.
This practical course looks at how we can go beyond compliance to create places, programs and communities that are universally accessible and celebrate diverse strengths.
Drawing on the social model of disability, and designed in partnership with people with lived experience, this course presents a positive and contemporary viewpoint and busts a few myths. It shifts the inclusion paradigm from something we do to accommodate minorities, to something we do so everyone feels welcome and included.
Along with developing an understanding of disability and what it means in a modern world, this course develops inclusive attitudes and challenges outdated assumptions. We also explore a range of practical tools such as appropriate language, access issues, customising services, privacy and disclosure and developing genuinely inclusive cultures.
