What is Asking ?
“ asking is the deliberate and conscious act
of approaching others and in so doing
seeking an involvement that previously wasn’t there.”
Why Is Asking So Important?
• Opportunities have been denied.
• We live in a world of shared interests.
• All people have gifts, talents and contributions to offer.
• Interdependence via Roles.
• Relationships (Repeat X 3 )
Why Is Asking So Important?
• Some community members are willing and waiting to be asked.
• 70% of funded participants in the NDIS Trial sites in Australia identified Civic, Social and Community participation as a priority.
• There is a consequence if we don’t.

Scenario.
“Sally is a young 17 year old vivacious girl, who as a consequence of her label as having Downs Syndrome
has spent all her school years attending the local SpecialSchool.
Sally has indicated to you that she really wants to hang around other girls, her same age, who unlike her were not
defined by disability. Sally would really like to join a local Church Youth group.
Sally has experienced rejection often and consequently is seeking the assistance of you to fulfil the role
of “the Asker”.
