What You Always Needed to Know About Intellectual Impairment and Were Mostly Never Told |

Deep Quality: An in-depth leadership course in optimal individual service design. |
| Date: |
24-28 May & 14-18 June |
| Location: |
Koomarri Centre, Phillip |
| Presenter: |
Michael Kendrick |
| There has been much concentration on person centred approaches to supporting people with disabilities and other vulnerable people. However, even with the best intentions it still appears that we are scratching the surface and people struggle to genuinely gain uniquely tailored supports that meet their fundamental needs, wants and aspirations in the community.
This service design course is unique and aimed at bridging the gap between what is hoped for, and what is actually realistic for services to deliver on, by way of individualised person-by-person lifestyle arrangements.
It is a very challenging, in-depth and practical course held over 10 days, that is oriented to notably talented and motivated people who are committed to and likely to play a decisive role for years to come in assisting with the better implementation of genuine person centred solutions.
