So I was lucky to connect in Sydney with some family leaders today exploring how the keys to citizenship can assist families of young children with a disability. Totally awesome.
Have to also say @SylvanaMahmic is my new hero! @citizen_network

Did you know that #uni2beyond has helped unlock over 100 @Sydney_Uni subjects for students with intellectual #disability?

We couldn't have done it without the support of the amazing teaching staff who have opened their doors to #inclusion, and of course our amazing #mentors

Family leadership challenge: A truly inclusive world would be one where the community says to a person with a disability “Welcome. We were expecting you” Thank you #IIDL2019 @nownextalumni

We want a community which when a person with a disability shows up, whether it’s a teacher, soccer coach or whoever else, the expectation is that the community will say “we were expecting you”. @buditsky @InclusionAB @LEAPLeapireland @nownextalumni #IIDL2019
