The Power of Meaningful Moments

“How can we support people to have purpose & value in their day?”

This practical workshop will focus on the power of creating valued roles for children and adults with disabilities. Those attending will leave with a better understanding of how to improve the quality of someone's day, based on building genuine relationships and roles, rather than only supporting them in activities.

This workshop will also examine ways in which people with disabilities can increase their involvement within their own organizations and the surrounding community. Cara will give realistic first steps for Community Building, and how to support people with disabilities to build up dignity, responsibility and self-esteem.
