Higher Diploma in Facilitating Inclusion (Disability Studies) at UCC

The Higher Diploma in Facilitating Inclusion (Disability Studies) was launched recently by Kathleen Lynch TD Minister of State (with responsibility for Disability, Equality, Older People and Mental Health). Part theoretical and part practical this new and unique course is a long awaited progression route for graduates of the very popular part-time Diploma in Disability Studies NFQ (Level 7). It is an opportunity for people working in the area of disability to enhance their knowledge and skills to enable them to support the fuller participation of people with disabilities in education, training, work and leisure. It incorporates the twin aims of lifelong learning i.e. active citizenship and employability. The programme includes an introduction to sign language, inclusive media and the skills required to successfully design a programme or course that maximises the inclusion of people with disabilities. It also looks at the social context of mental health and autism. Accessibility to sport and leisure, the creative arts and culture also form part of this Higher Diploma and participants are encouraged to contribute constructively to the ongoing debate around disability and inclusion locally, nationally and internationally. To facilitate those who are working in different areas of the country, this course is held on Friday nights and Saturdays at selected weekends throughout the academic year beginning on the 16th September, 2011.
