Share your joy with AT Chat!

During the hour-long party, our community shared presentations about:

• Where they’d go if they had a time machine
• How to rate the quality of almond croissants
• A description of sensory processing and ‘glimmers,
• And more

As a result of sponsorship from DDWA, through a Department of Communities Grant, we were able to hire Auslan interpreters as well as a Captioner. This helped us make the event as accessible as we could for our community.

The online format was also chosen so community members who might not usually be able to attend events (whether because they are bed-bound, live in a regional area, or face other barriers) would feel welcome and included.

One of the attendees told us,

Because I’m deafblind, I often miss a lot of what's happening when I go out. I learnt so much. I loved it! I would definitely come again.

We hope to be able to run a similar event in the future. We loved bringing our community together to share their special interests in an inclusive, accessible, and welcoming environment.
