you are not only Allowed, but encouraged to Be Yourself! At Rogue Access, we are excited to celebrate the things that make you different, not to shame you into making you hide your unique traits and characteristics!
In practice, this could look like you:
- Stimming freely, without fear of judgment from others
- Getting up to move around when you need to
- Not having to sit, move, or communicate in ways that feel unsafe or uncomfortable for you
- Using communication cards, or other modes of communication if you can’t, or don’t want to, speak
- Coming just as you are, and knowing that you will always be accepted, while remembering to respect the collective guidelines
- Being celebrated for your neurodivergence, hopefully fostering and/or strengthening a sense of disability pride!
- Being creative and/or expressive, without having to worry about “how it looks”
- Using any creative medium to express yourself!
- This could include: playing with clay, painting, colouring in, drawing or sketching, collaging, crafting, puppet-making, paper crafts, creative writing including poetry or stories, creating “found object” sculptures (making sculptures from objects you find at home, in the session or outside), “co-creating” artwork (making art with someone else) – the creative opportunities really are endless
Important to Remember:
- Anyone can make art
- You don’t have to be “good” at art
- Rogue Access value the Process (making the art), above the final artwork (how it looks at the end)
Ash (They/Them), the core facilitator and founder of Rogue Access, is a proudly disabled, queer producer.
