Connecting with your child through photography

1 Ticket per family – No identifiable information you provide in this registration will be shared outside of the organisation
Encourage your child to express themselves with PhotoVoice… and have fun!
What community activities do young children with a disability or developmental delay enjoy? Let them show you with their photos!
Some children are better at expressing their likes or dislikes through images instead of words. In this two-part workshop, learn to use PhotoVoice: an activity where you encourage your child to take photos of activities and places they enjoy, or do not like and find challenging.
PhotoVoice is fun and promotes engagement with your child. The images are uploaded to inform community organisations or businesses about enhancing accessibility and inclusion. You and your child’s personal details are kept confidential.
Families who have done PhotoVoice say that it helped their child become more confident in expressing themselves and making their own choices.
Come along to explore:
- How PhotoVoice enhances family engagement
- What photos can your child take
- Describing the photos in your child’s voice
- How to upload the photos
In the second session, parents can ask further questions about this project and discuss their picture-taking experience.
Special offer
