Free DAIP Workshop – Communication Disability, Access and Inclusion

You are invited to a workshop about

Communication Disability

and your Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP)

Are you involved in developing or implementing a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan for a state government, local government or not-for-profit community organisation? Are you interested in learning how you can better consider the needs of people with communication disability in your DAIP?  

Developmental Disability WA (DDWA) invites you to attend this Communication Disability Capacity Building Workshop.

Come along to explore:

• What is a communication disability?
• Who may have a communication disability?
• Is communication disability linked to intellectual disability?
• What about people who lose their ability to talk later in life?
• What access and inclusion supports should be considered within your DAIP for people with a communication disability?
• Who else may benefit when you improve communication access?

What practical strategies can you implement that will improve the way people with communication disability can access your public spaces, services, events and facilities?

PRESENTER – Laura Jones This workshop will be led by Laura Jones, communication consultant for DDWA. Lecturer for eight years in complex communication needs to postgraduate teachers and therapists at Edith Cowan University.  Laura has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with you. Guest speakers will also share their perspectives as people with lived experience of communication disability. They will share how inclusive practices have made a positive difference in supporting their access to communication, participation and inclusion.

Please forward this invitation to any of your team who may be interested in this workshop.
