WHY CHOOSE ME PLUS MORE

More than a workshop

Every workshop is designed specifically for people with intellectual disability, combining practical activities, Easy Read resources and experienced facilitators to create meaningful capacity building outcomes.

Easy Read Resources

Every workshop includes professionally designed Easy Read workbooks, practical activities and take-home resources participants can continue using long after the workshop finishes.

Designed for Real Participation

Every workshop is created specifically for people with intellectual disability, not adapted from mainstream training. Activities, language and resources are designed to maximise participation, confidence and success.

Practical Capacity Building

Participants don't just listen, they take part. Every workshop combines discussions, real-life activities and practical tools participants can apply at home, in the community and at work.

WHY PARTICIPANTS LOVE OUR WORKSHOPS

Building confidence together

Our workshops are designed to be welcoming, practical and engaging, so every participant feels confident to take part. Using Easy Read resources, real-life activities and supportive facilitators, we create an environment where participants can build skills, make connections and celebrate their progress.

Every workshop is focused on helping participants leave feeling more confident, capable and ready to use their new skills in everyday life.

“I liked the workshop because I learnt about how to respect people’s boundaries, how to spot and stop harassment in the workplace. The workshop was presented in a way that was easy to understand.”

I’ve really enjoyed doing me plus more - women in the work place. The topics are interesting, I enjoy how it has videos by tara and her staff that run it, I’ve enjoyed being on the leaderboard quite a few times and I also enjoy doing the course in easy read and the quizzes on each topic. I look forward to finishing the last few topics when I have enough time to do it in my own time

Highly recommend Me Plus More for people with intellectual disabilities. The challenges motivate me to receive more points to top the leader board. The role plays and quizzes motivate my learning and social skills on the platform. Tara has created an accessible and inclusive platform that encourages people with disabilities to participate in activities to gain important life skills and for enjoyment.

I have learned a lot from the Women in the Workplace course. Things like the Anti-discrimination Act and how to conduct appropriate relationships at work. There’s lots of little competitions to motivate me, and role plays and quizzes.
