People with and without disability can take collective action to help build liveable, sustainable and equitable communities. In these healthy communities, people with disability feel comfortable being who they are, they and no lists participate in decisions that affect their lives, they have the same sense of life opportunity as other people, and they know they will be treated fairly and with respect. Disability inclusive community development challenges discrimination and exclusion whilst promoting recognition of people with disability as fully contributing and responsible citizens. The unit will employ a project-based learning approach focusing on real-world problems as the vehicle for significant multidisciplinary learning about disability-inclusive and sustainable community development. We will identify common narratives that perpetuate inequity for people with disability and appraise how these narratives inform contemporary policies, programs and services. We will consider why these dialogues endure even when evidence shows they have adverse effects. We will explore how modes of working with communities, such as community capacity development, policy, and advocacy, are used (re)shape opportunities for inclusive and sustainable communities
