Hello everyone

Today we would love to talk about

• our friendship
• inclusive research

Since we started to work together

• our friendship has grown
• we have learned a lot from each other
• we support each other
• we play to our strengths

We have many things in common

• we have our differences

It would be boring to always agree on things

We both want to make the world a better place

• for people with intellectual disability

We would like to see more people with intellectual disability

• being researchers
• having a say in things important to them

There are many barriers for people to do that.

Many people with intellectual disability

• are still excluded from community
• do not have a say about what they want
• other people make decisions for them

This is why self-advocacy is important

• for people with intellectual disability

Self advocacy helps people to

• have a voice in matters important to them
• make decisions about their lives
• have choices
• take risks
• know their rights
• develop skills

Inclusive research can support people

• develop self-advocacy skills

It is important for

• university researchers
• researchers with intellectual disability

to work together in inclusive teams
