Some great tips from Will Wheeler around knowing your rights as a #neurodistinct learner in adult education - research the RTO, ask questions, don't take the sales persons' words, & know your rights. #Neuroemploy2022

Probably one of the most powerful, informative and inspiring acknowledgments of country and opening yarn I've had the honour of listening to live. I literally had tingles and tears in my eyes. Thank you @tess_moodie! Thank you so much!
#NeuroEmploy2022 #acknowledgmentofcountry
Thankyou @tess_moodie for opening day 2 with Acknowledgment to Country & a personal yarn - 'never give up, this will be your strength' & 'nothing about us without us' are two of the many important messages to takeaway. #NeuroEmploy2022

It was deadly to be able to deliver an acknowledgement of country today for #NeuroEmploy2022
This morning @tess_moodie opened #NeuroEmploy2022 with Acknowledgment to Country & a yarn. It's important to use a traditional yarning & listening approach to achieve the best outcomes when working with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people #neurodiversity #FirstNations
