Disability Reform Community of Practice – November session

We are pleased to announce that Dr Patsie Frawley is our guest speaker at the upcoming online disability reform Community of Practice. The topic of Patsie’s presentation, and small group discussions in virtual break out rooms, is unpacking and re-packing co-design.

Patsie is an Associate Professor at the National Centre of Excellence in Intellectual Disability Health, at the University of New South Wales. Patsie has worked for almost four decades alongside people with intellectual disability promoting rights and co-developing approaches to inclusive research. This is a unique opportunity to hear from one of Australia’s most influential researchers about her experiences and insights about co-designing with people with disability, specifically, people with intellectual disability. Patsie’s presentation will be at the start of the Community of Practice and will go for approximately 15-20 minutes.

In the small group discussion, you have an opportunity to hear reflections about co-design work and learn from peers and share your own learnings in a safe and supportive space.

Expected energy levels

At QDN we like to let you know how much energy an event might take. This event will require high levels of energy: cameras on and participating in breakout room discussions that will last for about 40 minutes.

As a reminder, the Community of Practice is open to:
