The fourth topic regards getting around the community, including transportation and vehicle modification, and fifthly, keeping active and having fun, including engaging in sport, music, art, community groups, travel and events.

The next topic will be getting education and skills, New Zealand, sign language, life skills and employment skills, and number seven will cover getting a job and staying employed. This can involve supported job search and supported employment.

Next we will cover hiring people who have a disability, including their skills, CV’s, interviews and support, and the ninth topic covers relationships and fertility. The tenth topic will address parenting a child with a disability, and, finally, the subject of abuse and safety is covered.
