Registrations are now open for the My Home, My Way workshop. This is a three-part virtual workshop series exploring individualised and innovative ways that people with a disability have used to create their own homes while getting the support they need.

- 10:00 AM – 12:15 PM
What this workshop series is about?
Home is a vital part of our lives. It provides us with security, privacy, comfort and control. It also reflects our identity, adulthood, and deep sense of who we are and how we connect and belong in our neighbourhood.
Yet for many people, particularly with intellectual disability and Autism, home is designed by others. Individuals are left with little control over the decisions that most people take for granted. Some families wonder if it’s even possible for their son or daughter to live in their own home.
In this practical and interactive workshop, we will explore individualised and innovative ways that people with a disability have used to create their own homes while getting the support they need.
This workshop has been designed specifically with residents of the ACT and surrounding regions in mind. If you are located in another state or territory, please see below for workshops that are relevant to your state or territory.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop will be relevant to people with developmental disabilities, their families and supporters as they think through how they might move into and thrive in a home they can call their own.
While some of this content is applicable to people throughout Australia, our focus will be on helping residents of the ACT and surrounding regions to understand housing options in their local area. If you don’t live in the ACT or surrounding area, please visit our website to see the dates and times of the workshops that will be run by our sister organisations across Australia.
This workshop is interactive, so please only register if you are able to attend all three sessions.
