Christine, couldn't you say a bit more about why he wasso
good?
Did
he cover the "social model" of disability, for instance? Did he talk about
disability equality, or how to help disabled people? disabled
people? Did he run through all the different impairments with the course
participants?
I'd
love to know more if you've got a minute to tell us?
It's
not often you hear of a new disability workshop leader.
And
really, anybody can set up to be a disability trainer.

Dear All,
I
don't usually respond to all but this is worth knowing. I have recent
experience of the most brilliant consultant/trainer for exactly this
issue. His name is Dr Ossie Stuart, he's an ex-academic so knows the
context we'll all working in, and he received fantasticly positive feedback
from a disability workshop he delivered here yesterday. He'll be doing
a lot more for us as feedback from participants was "everyone" in the
organisation should attend.
Do
add his name to your list of Disability Specialists as I believe you'd be
hard pushed to find better.
I
cannot recommend him enough!
Christine

Any
