23.01.2022 Peers can be great role models, they can support children who are still learning skills to work through tasks or to follow the routines of the day. Here is Isabel with her friend, walking to wash their hands before playing together in the indoor play space. ... . . . #specialeducation #speced #specialeducationteacher #specialeducator #earlychildhoodaustralia #playbasedlearning #learningfrompeers #peerrolemodels #workingtogether #followingroutine See more

21.01.2022 Are you a parent or guardian of a young adult (aged 18 - 30) with disability? Researchers at Macquarie University and STaR would value hearing about your child’s post school experiences. The information that you share will help us to identify how post school services for people with disability in Australia could be improved. The anonymous online survey will take around 10 15 minutes to complete. When you complete the survey, you can enter a prize draw for the chance... to win one of three $100 Coles Group/Myer gift vouchers. To complete the survey, please follow the link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PostSchoolExperience Thank you in anticipation

17.01.2022 #FACT: People with disability are a valuable part of our society (like everyone else). They do not need our sympathy. They ask for support and understanding. #MythBustingMonday It's ok to be different! ... . . . #inclusiveeducation #normalisingdisability #difference #effectiveteaching #specialed #ruaware #lifelonglearning #earlychildhoodaustralia #teachnsw #welearntogether #learningeveryday #community #star #srv #sped #speced #specialeducation #specialeducationteacher #disabilityadvocate #disabilityaustralia #disabilityinclusion #inclusion #mythvsfact #mythbusters #mythbusting #mythbuster #mythbusted #disabilitymyths #disabilityfacts #familyadvocacy @nsweducation @teachnsw @sarahmitchellmlc

15.01.2022 Always was, always will be

12.01.2022 In the words of Ella, Co-ordinator of Order Fulfilment at @avenuecoworking Parramatta , "Lina comes to work knowing I depend on her to get the job done" STaR has high expectations for all of our children, students and participants. Presume competence! #presumecompetence #lifelonglearning #adultswithdisability #disability #inclusion #speced #specialeducation #specialeducationteacher #specialeducationteaching #highexpectations

11.01.2022 Just one day to go until our "off to big school" zoom discussion Who's zooming in Don't forget to RSVP to [email protected] so we can send you the zoom link

08.01.2022 Inclusion is a buzz word everyone talks about it and says they are doing it. I am always saddened and angered when a STaR parent contacts me to share their distress at making the brave decision to join their child into their local community club, only to experience subtle (or not so subtle) exclusion. Inclusion can only happen when the whole community supports and demands it, whether your child has a disability or not. Please support the parents who have to fight for their ...child to have normal experiences EVERY DAY.
