In the afternoon we had a presentation by our Self-advocacy team at Ace Anglia and we did a table top exercise on self-advocacy groups. We asked people where they would like to attend self-advocacy groups. In these groups you will have your voice heard, meet new friends and have a chat.
We finished with Accessibility in the Community with Emile: https://www.aceanglia.com/accessibility-in-the-community/
