The Cognitive Factory: A Revolutionary Woodwork Workshop
In this groundbreaking program, I pioneered an innovative approach to engaging individuals with brain injuries or cognitive impairment in woodwork activities. By designing a specialized system featuring lightweight hammering with small nails and pre-drilled holes, participants experienced full engagement and creative expression.
Through this journey, I learned valuable lessons about adaptability, empathy, and the importance of personalized attention. Initially met with resistance from some industry professionals, I successfully implemented the program with smaller groups and one-on-one sessions, earning the support of open-minded experienced workers who recognized its unique value.
The Cognitive Factory boldly challenged conventional approaches in the transforming NDIS landscape, demonstrating the potential for inclusive and empowering workshops that prioritize client engagement and creativity.
