This course on contemporary practice in disability explores the major changes in the sector over the past two decades and their impact on support. You will learn about the current focus of disability work, including promoting choice, inclusion, and person-centred approaches.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is introduced to provide context for planning and delivering support. Key concepts for working effectively with people with disability are covered, including communication, respect, recognising individual goals, and an introduction to restrictive practices and how to minimise their use, ensuring practice aligns with modern, rights-based approaches.
