People with intellectual disabilities discussed big issues like attitudes towards disability, employment difficulties, lack of friends, poor treatment by some staff and service providers, transport access issues, and lack of accessible information and equality. Attendees agreed to share information to change attitudes, tell their personal stories, work on addressing these big issues, involve people with intellectual disabilities more in their organizations, and learn to create easy to read information. The group plans to share the results with government ministers, continue informing others, address the issues raised, and involve more people in advocacy through their organization.
