Some pictures from our Speak Up Drop In Christmas Party in Latrobe Valley - it was fun! We did role plays (thanks Glynn and David), played Kat's new disability rights memory game, and wrote what is important to us about self-advocacy. Thanks so much to everyone who dropped by - including guests from Gippsland Disability Advocacy Inc., Empowered at GCASA, Life Skills Victoria, SARU - Self Advocacy Resource Unit, Reinforce, Positive Powerful Parents, Latrobe City Council, and some new visitors! We look forward to seeing everyone in the new year 🎊
