The Community Inclusion workshop provides participants with a framework for how to support people with a disability to become involved in sport and recreation in their community. The workshop outlines ways to plan for community inclusion and provide goals to work towards.

This training is not intended to teach you how to “care” for someone or to be a service provider. Instead, you will learn how to assist people with a disability to connect with others in the community. Included in this training is our Community Inclusion Manual to help you implement skills learned. Participants also receive a Certificate of Attendance.

This training is beneficial for anyone who is involved in supporting people with a disability into community sport and recreation. You may be a family member, friend, support worker, service provider, advocate or community member.

Maximum of 20 participants recommended.

Topics covered include:

• About disability
• Attitudes – exploring the myths and stereotypes
• Different types of disabilities
• Communication strategies
• What is inclusive recreation?
• Principles of community inclusion
• Inclusion strategies

Training may be held at a venue convenient to you, or at our facilities in Maddington or Osborne Park. Venue, catering and any on-costs are the responsibility of the quote recipient.
