Family Advocacy workshop with Janet Klees (Deohaeko)

Taking the next step....putting the theory into practice

9.30 am - 2.30 pm,Tuesday, 10th March, 2009

West Ryde (Sydney)

Presented by Janet Klees, this workshop will be of interest to anyone who wants to move beyond the theory of what constitutes a good life for a person with disability, to how to go about actually creating it.The day will be about family driven initiatives for individually supported lifestyles and will include a discussion of the principles and practices needed to implement the thinking.

The workshop will be particularly useful for families and allies of people with disability who do not currently have support funding or financial resources to draw on.

Janet Klees is known for her work with the Deohaeko Support Network in Ontario Canada,and her two books which are directly rooted in the Deohaeko experience - We come bearing gifts and Our presence has roots.
