About this listen

This week, Simon revisits the discussions he had earlier this year with Dr Rita Kleinfeld-Fowell, Deborah Kazich and Linni Oliver.

Legally Deaf and blind, Rita has faced - and overcome - immense challenges. Through resilience, strength and determination, she has transformed adversity into advocacy, using her lived experience to support and uplift others.

Now Head of Disability Law Practice at Sussex Street Community Legal Centre, Rita is passionate about empowering people with disability through knowledge, rights and representation.

For more information about Rita's work and the legal services available at Sussex Street Community Law Service, go to their website: sscls.asn.au

Deborah Kazich is a Deafblind advocate sharing her vibrant, active life, and Linni Oliver is a dedicated Communication Guide.

Deb has many interests including public speaking training with Toast Masters, and she never misses an opportunity to share her passion for her community and to help bring awareness of people living with Deafblindness.

    More information about Deafblind West Australians can be found on their website.
