Improved training for disability workers across Pacific

Better training for disability workers across the Pacific is soon to become a reality with the Fiji School of Medicine to offer new educational options.

Clarissa Pearce, Scope's International Development and Exchange Program Co-ordinator spoke with ABC’s Sonja Heydeman about the program.

The School of Medicine is teaming with Fiji 's CAL Program (Competency, Assessment and Local Solutions) , which runs an early intervention training program for teachers, caregivers and families of children with disabilities in the country. CAL helps children with disabilities, especially those in rural areas, gain access to appropriate community based services.
