Understanding the Social Model of Disability and How this Fosters Inclusion and Accessibility

Working with Clients with Disability 101: Working with clients with a disability provides allied health professionals with a unique win-win, the opportunity to perform rewarding and challenging work that is funded by the NDIS. However, catering to the diverse range of disabilities in Australia can be daunting.   

This webinar is not a comprehensive program on disability, because that isn’t possible. What this webinar does provide is a set of tools for the Allied health Professional to better understand and work with the unique needs of clients with a disability.   

In this webinar, Tommy Trout – Founder of WeFlex – unpacked the social model of disability, the complex nature of support needs as well as accessibility, providing the participants with the tools and encouragement to begin or continue working with people with Disability.  

This webinar is suitable for anybody who has face-to-face (or even virtual) interaction with people with disability. The webinar provides value for those with experience and those with little exposure, providing lots of real-life examples and solutions to issues common in service delivery.

• An understanding of the Social Model of Disability 

• Improved ability to gauge, understand and meet the support needs of clients with a disability 

• Improved understanding and ability to meet the unique accessibility needs of people with a disability 

• A deepened appreciation of the history and unique cultures within disabilities communities in Australia
