Series 1: Ep 9) How We Built An Inclusive Life For Alex - Bridget Sneddon

How do you assist your daughter or son with intellectual disability to lead an inclusive life? A sound starting point is to learn from other families who have been in your position and negotiated the barriers, established a vision, and made a life-long commitment to social inclusion. In this episode Bridget shares how, as a family, they assisted their son Alex to build a rich and meaningful life in community.

She has also been actively involved in the disability sector for over 20 years in a variety of roles. The mother of three, her eldest son Alex has an intellectual disability and with her husband has encouraged his individual autonomy, self-determination and dreams. This has been the result of his family having a lifetime commitment to his full social inclusion and a vision that his life would reflect that of his siblings.
