We have been conducting an evaluation of a course designed for people with
disabilities which aimed to teach skills around managing support services
such as attendant care. The course is 12 weeks and was designed by a
coalition of community based agencies here in Victoria, Australia.
We have been unable to locate any literature around similiar courses of
this nature. The disability literature from the UK talks about self
managment of support services and peer support to do this.
Does anyone have any leads we could follow to track down literature on
courses aimed at teaching people with disability skills around managing
support services.
Thanks,
Chris Bigby
