We hope that you went away inspired with ideas, contacts and practical examples that can be used to promote positive change in your life, in the life of your family member, friend or the person with disability whom you support.
See below for a range of Conference Papers. More will be included as these are available.
If you attended the Conference, you will recall various photographs being taken. As a number of attendees came representing organisations or parent groups, a selection of these has been added to the web site so that you can include them in any report/write-up you may be preparing about the Conference.
Some segments of the Conference were filmed and these will also be available when edited. As you can imagine, this will take some time but we will note availability on the web site when ready.
If you are interested in seeing if there is any other written material by any of the presenters, you can search Family Advocacy’s library, The Inclusion Collection online to check the material we hold or contact the Information Co-ordinator Carole, directly.

Darcy Elks played a dance sequence performed by Jolt Mixed Ability Dance Company during her presentation at the Conference.
Jolt Mixed Ability Dance Company presented its first show in New Zealand in 2002 and this dance sequence is from that performance. Stephen Krammer was only 13 years old at the time and had been dancing with Jolt since it began in 2001. He is one of three boys in his family, all of whom have disability. He and his brother Michael have continued to dance with Jolt. In this sequence, he dances with long term Jolt member Nylla Ah Kuoi, who is now a tutor with her own class. Please feel free to contact Jolt at www.joltdance.co.nz.
