Boundary Setting and Protective Behaviours Workshop

City West Lotteries House - 2 Delhi Street, West Perth

Social distance, personal space and social/sexual concepts are extremely important life skills for everyone to know. At the same time, they are not easy skills to teach and can be even more difficult to teach to people with disability.

This workshop introduces the “Circles Concept” – an educational strategy that will assist anyone who wants to understand these skills more themselves or for people who work with people building and understanding their own skills. It will demonstrate how this strategy can be developed to give people with disabilities an understanding of personal boundaries. This is an essential element of Protective Behaviours.
