The Disability course is designed to improve your understanding of disability in all its guises, and to show how employment options for people with disability can be improved and embraced. The course has been created in collaboration with the Australian Network on Disability (AND). We are indebted to the many people with lived experience who generously gave us their time, to the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion team at the University of Queensland for their invaluable insights and for access to their leading researchers, and to Northcott Disability Services. We respect that all individuals will come to this course with varying degrees of understanding and knowledge already, including some who may have a more personal and intimate understanding of some topics covered in the course.
Please note:
Though we advocate person-first language in dealing with people with disability, there are some instances contained in interviews with international practitioners where person-first language has not been used. In balance, we thought their contribution outweighed the impact of the language.
