Family Leadership for Families of a Person with a Disability

Family Leadership and You (FLY) is a new project in the ACT supported by the ACT Government. It is coordinated by Sally Richards, the mother of a young man with a disability, and a teacher, trainer, advocate and writer. FLY is designed to lead and support families to plan a positive and rich future for their sons and daughters who have a disability.

Anyone in the ACT can FLY if their philosophy matches the aims of the project. If you believe that:
•    All people have strengths and much to contribute to society.
•    Parents have expert knowledge when it comes to understanding their own children.  
•    Families serve as a unique and valuable resource for each other.
•    Informed, involved and confident parents are the most effective agents for social change on behalf of their children.  
•    All humans have the right to be valued and feel that they belong.
•    Relationships and partnerships are powerful ways of harnessing the support of others.
•    Professionals and parents/families achieve the best results when they work together.

There is no cost. For more information about how FLY can assist and guide you, please contact Sally Richards on 6281 0974
