This month we are joined by VATT Chat. A peer led initiative to make sure everyone can participate in meetings and places where decisions are made. 

In this episode, Warren speaks to friend and colleague Larissa MacFarlane about Self Advocacy and Art, following on from their previous conversation about language, stigma and disability pride. Larissa is an Artist and VATT Graduate.

VATT (Voice at The Table) is an AMIDA/SARU initiative providing practical information to ensure people with a cognitive disability have a real and equal voice on boards, committees and advisory groups. 

The VATT Chat podcast has been made as part of SARU’s Inclusive Meeting Training package. It is for Self Advocates, Organisation staff and Meeting Chairs.

You can hear all Episodes of the podcast by following the links at  Voice at the Table Facebook page or the website voiceatthetable.com.au
