National Developmental Educators’ Week 11-15 Nov 2019

National Developmental Educators Week

11-15 November 2019

 

 

The DEAI is excited to launch the 3rd National Developmental Educators Week at the Annual General Meeting on 7th November.

Our theme this year is: CELEBRATE our person-centredness

 

Person-centredness is an approach that underpins the professional practices of Developmental Educators. Person-centredness ensures people with a disability are at the centre of all decisions which relate to their life, and recognises their goals and aspirations. Person-centred planning facilitates people genuinely participating in valued and meaningful activities in everyday life, and contributing as members of their community. Person-centredness simply means getting to know a person, listening to what and who is important to them and understanding their wishes.

DEAI members can access a range of Person-centred resources from the members page on the DEAI website:

We invite you to join with the DEAI, fellow Developmental Educators, disability studies students, work colleagues, and other interested parties to celebrate the Developmental Educator profession.
