Hello!
The newsletter starts with a disco, then soccer and wheelchair football, the Paralympic talent search, social group for young adults with vision impairment, and the Kids Big Fun Day Out. Carers are alerted to free parenting programs by Centacare, inclusive education workshop by Family Advocacy, three meetings to explore possibilities for school leavers, and vacancies in several care programs.
Financial matters include information on the Better Start for Children with Disability program, grants by Warringah Council and the Commonwealth Bank, a modified Chrysler for sale, inexpensive computers, the Might and Power Race Day, and two items dealing with electricity. Resources include the name change for Chatswood Supported Living, Apps for Auslan and Literacy support, the NSW Mental Health Rights Manual and the NSW Law Handbook, a speech transcript from the Big Event, a submission to the Disability Care and Support Inquiry, and the timeline of the Every Australian Counts campaign. You are invited to complete surveys on sign language communication, to participate in a research project or artwork calendar, and hand out NDIS information at train stations.
Workshops and conferences address mental health support, intellectual disability and challenging behaviour, low vision and education, preventing childhood anxiety, handling parliamentary inquiries, person centred thinking and graphics, child protection training, mobility scooter safety, as well as expos on employment and vocational services.
Your comments and suggestions are welcome, as always! The next newsletter will be sent on 24 June.
Regards, Marjorie Janz , Disability Information Officer, Warringah Council.
