Description
A briefing on research that looked at policies from across Australia to assess whether they help create better neighbourhoods for children with disabilities and their families.
It found that most policies were too small, missed big changes and urban planning was almost never used to help children.
It recommends that more focus is needed for delivering place-based interventions for children with disability.
