Subject outline
In this subject you will be introduced to people with developmental disabilities and hear directly from them about their lives.

You will be introduced to current principles and values that are key to positive interactions between people with developmental disabilities and health and social service providers. You will also develop an understanding of interprofessional practice, through exploring the role you will play in your future profession, and the roles of other professions in contributing to the health and social inclusion of people with developmental disabilities.
