'End of Life and People with Disability' Seminar: University of Sydney

This event is co-sponsored by the University of Sydney's Centre for Disability Research and Policy and Lorna Hodgkinson Sunshine Home:

Adults with intellectual disability deserve information and support about end of life to help them understand and plan. The seminar will feature Australian and UK researchers and practitioners who are currently working on end-of-life issues with people with intellectual disability. 

These are universal concerns that apply regardless of disability, so several other speakers will discuss end of life as experienced by members of the broader community.

The seminar will include reports on the findings of Part 1 of the Sydney-based 3-year research project, Dying to Talk, and will feature a preview screening of excerpts of the project's new educational video Dying to Talk.
