Do you live in Kingborough and have a young child?

The Peter Underwood Centre at the University of Tasmania want to learn about what life is like for families in Kingborough during a child’s first 1000 days (from pregnancy until about two years old).

Your story will help the researchers understand what makes things easier or harder for families, and how things can be better. The stories will be made into a guide that will help governments improve services.

The project is funded by SEED Futures.

If you are interested or have questions, please contact Dr Logan Linkston. Email [email protected] or phone 0494 626 982.

Learn about reasonable adjustments at school from other families.

It can be hard to know what reasonable adjustments schools can provide to students with disabilities. That’s why we asked families for examples of reasonable adjustments that are working for their children.

A reasonable adjustment is a change a school makes so a student with disability can take part in learning on the same basis as other students.

Some examples include:
🔹Giving more time to complete a task
🔹Providing all instructions in writing
🔹Providing information in large print
🔹Changes to uniform requirements
🔹Providing toileting support as needed

Our reasonable adjustments guide breaks this down in plain English, so you know what you can ask for.

Because sometimes the best information comes from other families.

He’ll cover:
🧬Genetic factors that raise susceptibility
🌏Environmental influences that may increase or reduce risk
👶🏻👴🏻Gene–environment interactions over a lifetime
🔬Large-scale research efforts shaping early detection and prevention
