Session information
- Title:
- Environmental Challenges Matter
- Description:
-
This session will give an overview of the environmental challenges that disabled children, young people and their families can face in their daily lives. These include attitudes, policies and rules as well as physical barriers. Positive examples including case studies will explain how you can, by using a bit of imagination, overcome many of these barriers. Disabled people should be included in everything as the default position.
The word order ‘disabled children and young people’ is used in this and all the Disability Matters sessions. This is because disabling factors are most often external to the person and are therefore something that everyone in society can do something about. - Hierarchy:
