ASID webinar | Including the Voices of people with an Intellectual Disability in Research 

This presentation will describe the inclusive research approach used during an evidence-based review of UnitingCare’s Project SEARCH program.

It will begin by providing an introduction to Project SEARCH. We will talk about its background and purpose in supporting young people with intellectual disabilities.

Elliot Bryan and Lily Rosevear will then talk about their Baseline evaluation project and why it is critical to include the voices of people with lived experience of intellectual disabilities. They will share their experiences of working with people on the project and what their challenges and successes were. They will provide tips for people looking to do a co-design research and evaluation project.

The key take home message is a call for better inclusive research.
