This article, by authors Deb Rouget and Teresa Micallef, was published in the Voice-The Journal for Down Syndrome Australia, April 2019.
Simply explained – a nice, easy read – it is an edited extract from ‘A Guide to Circles of Support’ published by Belonging Matters.
The document contains two articles:
- One about Circles of Support: their importance, benefits, outcomes, tips on getting started (ex. Purpose, Vision for a Circle, qualities of potential Circle members, etc.), tips for meetings, and why involve a facilitator.
- A second article, written by family leader, Jacquie Mills “What are microboards?” is included at the end.
