Webinar - Supporting Clients With Disabilities

Webinar Information

Date: Wednesday, September 13, 2017

Time: 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM

Building on the information shared in the January 2016 Migration Matters Supporting Newcomers with Disabilities edition and responding to the need for more resources for newcomers with disabilities, this 90-minute webinar will explore barriers to accessing settlement services for newcomers with disabilities and how providers can improve accessibility to assist clients’ integration into communities.

This webinar will focus on

o   physical disabilities (dexterity, mobility, seeing, hearing, etc.)

o   accessibility and inclusion (including inclusive language)

o   the Canadian context of disability awareness

o   case studies and available resources for settlement and language providers

This webinar is designed to equip managers, instructors of LINC and frontline staff with information on how to support clients with disabilities and how to provide them with referrals to other supporting organizations.
