On this episode, we discussed, alongside our guest Friday:

• as part of our segment Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow (What's Going On), examples of community events that strive to be more accessable.
• how learning new skills (such as learning Auslan) can lead to broader understandings of self-advocacy for those with disability, their allies and their supports.
• the value of sharing 'hot tips' within community on how to engage with clinical and support environments, including the NDIS.
• some advice around great ways to use online and in-real-life events to foster connection.
