Participants from Distinctive Options have been attending the ‘Having a Say’ conference for many years, predominantly being members from our R&R groups.  The ‘Having a Say’ conference supports individuals to find their voice, to speak up, to be heard, and to be respected. 

People enjoy attending the conference for a range of reasons.  Some are keen advocates for people with disability and want to debate about issues, whilst others find the whole environment empowering.
