Content
Community development theory and practice as it is applied to disability and inclusion is the focus of this unit. Participation in the community and the development of accessible social, economic, and citizenship opportunities for people with a disability requires that mainstream society builds its capacity to include people with disability. Students will develop knowledge and skills in community engagement, inclusive consultation and research and cross sector collaboration. A critical analysis of barriers and solutions to participation and inclusion will underpin this unit.
