In this episode, Dr. Jenny Crosby, a seasoned advocate with 35 years in the disability sector, discusses the persistent barriers that hinder economic participation for young people with intellectual disability in Australia.
Jenny’s PhD research highlights systemic issues and advocates for an 'employment ecosystem' perspective to address these obstacles. You’ll learn about the multiple levels of influence that impact employment opportunities and the importance of customised employment.
Jenny also outlines strategies for families and communities to advocate for changes, utilise NDIS funding creatively, and push for systemic policy shifts that prioritise employment inclusion for people with disability.
