Seeking women with disabilities to make DVD for health professionals
Women with Disabilities Victoria have an exciting new project focusing on improving health care for women with disabilities. Despite greater need for health services, women with disabilities experience significant barriers to good health care. Research indicates, and our members confirm, a real gap in health professional’s knowledge of the needs of women with disabilities. We are creating a DVD that will assist in training health professionals. The DVD will be accessible to both women with disabilities and health workers with disabilities – with features such as audio description and closed captioning. In this way, we will model accessibility standards for health practitioners.
