DET aims is to breakdown misconceptions that society has
about disabled people, and raise awareness of disability issues. DET consists
of a team of disabled and non-disabled trainers that give a presentation
to people of all ages. They talk about their own experiances of life as
disabled people, discuss the social and medical models of disability and
debate assumptions and attitudes within an informal environment.

The training aims to help people understand disability issues though
open and interactive debate. The session gives people the opportunity to
ask questions that they may not usually feel comfortable asking. The focus
is changing the attitudes of the community by acceptance and familiarity
with disability issues, rather than lecturing on the right way to think. |
