Series 1: Ep 12) I Believe in Inclusion but Don‘t Want to Ask - Deb Rouget

We all want to be included right? But where is the best place to start? This can be a difficult question for all of us, but particularly challenging for people with disability. The trap is to fall into traditional offerings but these inevitably lead to segregation and isolation. There are alternatives and they work, as explained in this episode by Belonging Matters CEO Deb Rouget.

Deb Rouget

Deb Rouget has been involved with people with a disability and their families for over 30 years. In 2003, Deb was integral in the development of Belonging Matters which sprung to life as a catalyst to prevent the exclusion of people with a disability from their communities and enable individuals to enjoy a fulfilling life that is well embedded in community, relationship and citizenship. Since that time, she has been the CEO of Belonging Matters. Deb has also been keen to foster advances that leave people who have a disability and their families with greater control over their lives.
