I know the importance of sharing this information with others
The course was delivered in a very well thought out format
A better understanding of all aspects of Disablism
Fantastic, really made you consider challenging some views, just wish this training was mandatory for all practitioners working with other.
Very good, found it very useful to have someone teach it who understands first hand
The course really challenged my thinking and the type of language we use in our settings, in policies, also policies by outside agencies!
Most important thing… Challenge attitudes and ensure my setting is a "can do" place
The course was fun and helped me understand the terminology a lot better
Most important thing… More up to date knowledge and understanding of Challenging Disablism
