Looking more deeply at ‘behaviour’ is the focus of CRU’s last “Families for Inclusive Education” newsletter for 2021. We hope this newsletter builds parents’ confidence to influence a deeper understanding of what is going on for their child if ‘behaviour’ is raised at school.We also hope it will be helpful to professionals working with young people and their families to promote curiosity when there is behaviour that is difficult to understand.Ultimately, we hope it encourages reflection on what can be done better to support children with disability to feel safe, heard, and valued. ...

Is choice always more important than safety? Is safety more important than choice? Or… is it not quite that straightforward?People with disability can have meaningful choices about their lives taken away from them in the name of safety (or ‘duty or care’), or can be free to ‘choose’ without any much-needed support to weigh up their options, or to live with the consequences of their decisions. Presenting live from the USA on Thurs 26 November, Dr Michael Kendrick will share his thoughts on the complexities and dilemmas of supporting choice. Registrations close TONIGHT for this early morning session, which will be a chance to stop & consider the bigger picture, and what it means to support someone to exercise choice. Join online from 8am (AEST Qld, Au time) or in the CRU office from 7.30am for a light breakfast. For more information and to register - https://events.humanitix.com/dilemmas-in-supporting-choice ...
