ACAA Event Recording: Lived Experiences

About this event

Nick Morris will be interviewing three guest speakers and will ask a series of questions about their disability, lifestyle, education and career to explore "real life" lived experiences.

Some of the key outcomes will be to discuss where the built environment doesn’t work and what we as a industry body can do about it.

At the end of the session there will be time for questions on general or specific issues.

The 3 guest speakers are:

• Mollie Purvis, MGAC Access Consultant trainee: who uses an electric wheelchair and uses Changing Places amenities
• David Foran, Equalus Access Consultant: Guide dog user
• Zack Allcott, Get Skilled Access, Senior Engagement Consultant: brother and companion of wheelchair users
