Refugee Week

Refugee Week, 15-21 June, promotes greater awareness of refugees, the issues they face, and the contributions refugees are making to the Australian community.

Do you reflect on your own bias and perceptions of refugees and asylum seekers?
How do you link families with local refugee and asylum seeker supports, and community programs?
What reasonable adjustments might be required to support children from a refugee background?

    Sloped Writing Board

    An angled writing board can reduce the need for neck and trunk flexion during tabletop activities e.g. writing or reading. This may help where a child has restricted upper body movement and strength (reduces need for reach, promotes functional hand positions for fine motor tasks) or a visual impairment. It promotes a more upright trunk position, good hand position for drawing activities and may reduce eye strain for visual scanning activities.
