About the Online Workshop on Thursday 27th July 

This online workshop is for all school staff and other professionals who work with secondary school students with disabilities.

It will complement what we share with families and is designed to equip teachers and support staff to partner with secondary students and their families in their quest for work.

Participants hear family stories of what is possible and work through some practical activities.

Please note this is a repeat of the online workshops offered in February 2023.
