- How and why to ask questions to disabled young people
- How to understand disability and society

- The context disabled young people exist in
- How to plan, deliver and review accessible & inclusive programs
- Practicing how to use access & inclusion tools, such as;

Here’s what a 2022 participant said about the ‘together’ training:
The training has helped me to reframe my thinking to ensure my language and approach is more inclusive and accessible”
“I have never been to a training that has felt and been so inclusive of not only my needs but everyone around me. The content we covered in 4 hours was nothing short of impressive, but not once did we feel rushed or overloaded.”
This training is funded by the Department of Social Services.
