The WWDACT current theme is to get some basic vocabulary in AUSLAN and finger spelling. Lou B expertly managed the digital projector and with the DVD "A Time to Sign" running we learned some vocabulary for "Earth and Sky" and "Animals". Despite that fact that we were crash hot on the signs on Saturday, we can't vouch for how much will be retained by our the time our next meeting comes around.
WWDACT members also discussed ideas for the future direction of our organisation and ways in which we can more effectively engage with women across all ACT disability groups. WWDACT has always been a x-disability organisations, and now can firmly base our rationale in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). We will be trying to get more effective feedback to you from the large number of representatives we have serving on ACT Governemnt and non-government advisory bodies. There was strong support for continuation of the quarterly meetings too. Watch this space.........
