WARRINGAH DISABILITY NEWSLETTER No 243 - 3/12/10

The newsletter starts with a Family Fun Day, Discobility in Mosman, Christmas party, as well as Ability Counts for kids, and Paralympic football recruitment.  There are also a circus spectacular, and a game with the Sydney Kings against the New Zealand Breakers.  Programs for carers include an Elf competition for young carers, respite camps for teens with intellectual disability, and a call for a family with twins or triplets with autism to link with similar families.

There are scholarships for wheelchair users, and a fundraising concert for the Special Olympics.  Resources include manuals and workbooks for kids and teens with special needs, visual systems to promote play, the discounted 9th edition of Way Ahead, and Vodcasts on closing institutions in NSW.  Your participation is invited as committee members for Special Olympics at state and regional levels, two surveys, and your feedback on the Collaroy Accessibility Tourism Precinct.

Workshops and meetings address group work solutions, circles of support, Cert IV in mental health training, discounted training in community sector management, and 20 positions for direct support staff at Smithfield.

Your comments and suggestions are welcome, as always!  The next newsletter will appear on Friday 17 December.

Regards, Marjorie Janz, Disability Information Officer, Warringah Council.
