Education Service Report - 2017 Annual Review - Duration: 2:49.

For many years DSQ has taught

Auslan community classes as well as

provided deafness awareness training to the community.

This year, we had the same, but we've added

a new service which is accredited training

courses in Auslan as well as NDIS approved services.

NDIS has not rolled out all over Queensland as yet.

It's in a few select areas and where it is happening

we can provide services called Auslan in the home.

That service is for families who have

deaf or hard of hearing children.

A deaf person goes to their home,

teaches them Auslan and fits in with

what the family's needs are.

We teach them some signs, but also deaf cultural awareness

to help the family be fully immersed with

the Auslan in their home.

This year, we've provided this service for 25 families

and that service will grow as

the NDIS rolls out more around Queensland.

We've provided over 210 Auslan community classes

all over Queensland.

That could be through face-to-face

or through video conferencing.

The classes are good for people who have

never experienced Auslan or been within

the deaf community in the past.

Two different advertising campaigns we have

to encourage enrolment.

One is Hands Up If You Want to Learn Auslan.

The other one is Talk Under Water.

And that's trying to encourage people

to enrol in our classes.

And it's been very successful.

We've had almost 2,000 students enrol in our classes.

Again, this year we had four different camps.

And that's a full immersion experience over the weekend.

We have the AOW, which is the Auslan Only Weekend,

and two Voice Off Weekends, and a

Family Auslan Only Weekend as well.

And this year, the Family Auslan Only Weekend has grown.

There were over 220 people attending.

DSQ is an RTO. That means we are

a registered training organisation.

Our RTO's name is Access Training and Education,

or ATE for short, and this is the sign name.

It was established two years ago and it's still growing.

This year we've offered 13 courses.

We have right from Certificate II

up to the Diploma of Auslan and

also a Diploma of Interpreting.

For deaf students, we have selected units

from the Certificate III in Individual Support

and next year we'd like to offer a full certificate.

Also next year, we'd like to offer Diploma of Auslan

for a deaf only group.

93% of people who start the courses with ATE

will complete and graduate, and that shows

our teachers' dedication and hard work.

Last year, our Diploma of Interpreting had four

deaf people -- the first time in Queensland

that deaf people were involved

in becoming deaf interpreters.

We're very proud of those four people

who graduated the course.

Lifestyle Support Services Report - 2017 Annual Review - Duration: 3:26.

- Lifestyle Support Services, also known as LSS,

works with adults under the age of 65

who have an additional disability.

These people generally use Auslan as their main form

of communication, and the goal of our programme is to see

participants living an independent lifestyle,

so they can access their broader community around them.

To live the life that they want to lead.

And also have enriching experiences.

For example, if they wanted to invite a family member

or friend over, we can support them in educating them

how to use the National Relay Service to make that phone

call and extend the invitation.

Also to make some biscuits for their guests,

look at the budget, go shopping, read through the recipe

and do the cooking so in future they're able to make

their own biscuits at any time they like.

LSS supports our participants, but at the same time

we educate the wider community as to how to interact

with our participants, how to communicate so that they

become more accessible, and give a positive experience

to our participants.

They may want to attend their local coffee shop

and they know that they can interact with the staff there

at any time.

LSS supports in four key domains in life,

the first one being personal care,

community engagement,

life skills development

and supporting independent living within their own home.

Last year until now, in 2017, us at the LSS programme

have been very proud to see the success of our participants

in their own personal lives.

Just in May, we saw our LSS participants attend

the Q State Games, which is a form of Special Olympics.

And they achieved medals.

What an achievement!

The value and the benefit just goes to showcase

how LSS is providing positive experiences in the community.

We're preparing for the NDIS and the rollout of the NDIS

in South-East Queensland.

How we're preparing at LSS is ensuring that we're educating

our staff as to how to deliver a good service

to our participants to ensure that each participant

is receiving a good service.

We will continue listening to the individuals,

what their wants, goals and desires as well as needs are.

We'll be working together with the participants

to help them achieve their different goals.

LSS has grown and delivered services in Townsville

and forecasting out to 2018, we're expecting to see growth

within other regions throughout South-East Queensland.

Thank you.

Dementia news: Health services need overhaul for early diagnosis focus, experts say - Duration: 3:18.

Dementia news: Health services need overhaul for early diagnosis focus, experts say

Because of the rocketing knowledge about how and why the brain deteriorates, medics should now focus on early diagnosis and treatment, they said.

Researchers from across the UK have teamed up on a report highlighting the need for healthcare to keep pace with the latest scientific understanding of the debilitating brain condition.

Their report focuses on evidence that Alzheimers disease has its roots in brain changes in middle age which gives a window for treatment with drugs which could limit brain damage before the development of dementia.

The search is on to develop these disease-modifying drugs, seen as the best hope for preventing dementia, but the report warns the new treatments will pose huge challenges to how the disease is managed in the UK and elsewhere, requiring more detailed assessments and tests not normally available.

Experts say identifying those most likely to benefit from early intervention will require gathering specialist information such as genetics and brain scan imaging, which current services cannot deliver on the required scale.

Professor Craig Ritchie from the Centre of Dementia Prevention at the University of Edinburgh is one of the leaders of the group of Alzheimers disease researchers and clinicians which produced the report, known as the Edinburgh Consensus.

He said: "Brain changes that lead to dementia begin decades before symptoms. "Experiences at all stages of life can influence the likelihood of developing dementia and it is never too early to think about reducing your risk.

What we have to ensure is that clinical services keep step with scientific advances to make sure the public and patients benefit." Report co-author, Matthew Norton, Director of Policy at Alzheimers Research UK added: "Advances in science being made today could transform the way we treat people with dementia, and this report underlines an urgent need to ready our health services for that day.

"The clinical experts, researchers and charities involved in this Consensus agree that we cannot wait to do this vital planning in the NHS." The Edinburgh Consensus was written by UK university researchers alongside the Royal College of Psychiatrists, the Association of British Neurologists and Alzheimers charities.

commUNITY Service Report - 2017 Annual Review - Duration: 1:56.

This year at Deaf Services Queensland,

the team who provide the services to you as a community

has had a name change.

Previously we were Community Engagement and Development,

CED, and now we've renamed ourselves to CommUNITY,

because we understand the importance to you.

With the name change we've also had a structural change

within the Community team

to ensure that we're catering to the needs of you,

the deaf and hard of hearing community,

while still understanding and aligning with NDIS rollout.

Within Community we see our role as providing services

and representing you, the community.

In that way you can link in to us

and we can refer you out to the NDIS,

to new clients and also help you understand

Deaf Services Queensland's internal services.

The Community team focuses on five service areas,

Auslan translation, access to information and resources,

preplanning for the NDIS, an NDIS service provider

and also engaging with the community

through different activities, for example, our barbecues.

Something we've seen added to our services in 2017

is a new office at the Sunshine Coast,

which brings us to a total

of seven regions we provide services to.

Community is also providing virtual services.

The reason we've done this is to ensure more access

for you out there in the community.
