People with disability are valued contributing members of our society, though can need supports or adjustments to remove barriers, shift attitudes and enable contribution. WSU School of Psychology is pleased to host this mini conference aiming to connect disability researchers, educators, services providers and people and students with disability who have connection to the Greater Western Sydney area and an interest in enabling ability. We aim to foster connections and create conversations around:
- Groundbreaking disability research
