This video is about providing information for support staff that we hope will inform and advise, challenge and confront, confirm and encourage staff to provide the best possible support to the people they serve.

A special note of thanks to Ruth Firstbrook for her commitment to people with disabilities, her willingness to share her knowledge and expertise, and for generously giving up her precious time to educate and enlighten those of us who continue to struggle to provide the very best support to people with disabilities.
A very warm thank you to the fantastic contribution made by Leveda clients and staff who participated in this video.
