Disability Practice in the Spotlight

Petria McGoldrickPartnerships – in working together, supporting each other, always learning & celebrating success. 
It’s been fifteen years since Petria McGoldrick commenced her role as a Disability Liaison Officer at the University of Wollongong. Though it’s been a while, she can still recall her role prior to this one; she was working in occupational rehab, based in the workers’ compensation area, and also assisting people from the community with disability to fulfil their work and education goals. Clearly, disability assistance is an area she has long been passionate about.  Read more about Petria McGoldrick

Keep an eye on this! These students have designed a search tool to help people with dyslexia. "...rather than getting text-heavy responses you might otherwise encounter on traditional Q&A platforms, users will respond with short visual demonstrations instead: a one-minute clip showcasing the technique behind the trill, or a step-by-step guide on how to solve an equation, for example." https://thespinoff.co.nz/business/12-02-2019/lookup-is-the-yahoo-answers-for-people-with-dyslexia/
