If you are a parent or family member of a person with intellectual disability you would have learnt a lot (and been told a lot) about how their disability impacts them. But are there things you need to know that you were *never* told?CRU is excited to bring interstate presenter John Armstrong to Hervey Bay on Friday 22 July. Join CRU & John for the workshop 'Understanding Intellectual Disability: what you always needed to know *but* were mostly never told' at the Hervey Bay Neighbourhood Centre, Pialba.Starting his career as a teacher, John has been working alongside people with disability and their families for over 40 years. In this full-day workshop, John can help to shed new light & bring a different perspective to some of the questions or situations you might find yourself grappling with, and give you new ideas and approaches. This workshop is open to people with disability, family members, as well as friends, allies, workers and professionals. There is a cost to attend and registrations are essential https://events.humanitix.com/hervey-bay-understanding-intellectual-disability-jul22 Image Description: Headshot of presenter John Armstrong smiling at the camera.

Earlier this week, CRU learnt of the sad passing of one of our most respected international allies, Dr E. Anne Hughson, Associate Professor at the University of Calgary, and an inspirational leader for disability inclusion. Anne was a regular visitor to Australia over several decades, and her pioneering work as a contributor to Inclusion Alberta made an immeasurable positive impact on the lives of people with disability and their families. Over decades Anne collaborated with Inclusion Alberta as a co-developer and facilitator of the Association’s internationally recognised family leadership series and developed community inclusion projects in child welfare, inclusive education, regional family advocacy networks and individualised funding. She presented and wrote extensively on post-secondary inclusive education, leadership, community inclusion and prevention of abuse. Her legacy is immense and CRU is deeply indebted to Anne for her warm friendship and for sharing critical insights which had a deep influence on our family leadership and inclusive education efforts, and many other areas of our work. We offer our sincere condolences to Anne’s family, friends, and colleagues. Vale Anne. ... View more about this articleView less about this article
