Education and Training

  • In-depth leadership course in Optimal Individualised Service Design
    Lately we have paid much attention to person centred approaches to supporting people with disabilities. However, even with the best intentions, we are still scratching at the surface and people are struggling to genuinely gain uniquely tailored supports that meet their fundamental needs, wants and aspirations in the community.
     A greater depth in understanding and greater discussion around the contours of theory will be explored at this 2009 event. 10th August to 14th August 2009 and 31st August to 04th September 2009. Melbourne, Australia.
