- Working with government and services to make life better for people with an intellectual disability.
- Equal rights for people with an intellectual disability.
- Sharing the experiences of living with an intellectual disability.
- Making change happen.
- Sitting on different committees or advisory groups.
- Having a say in planning for new and better services.
What are the benefits?
People with cognitive disabilities, service providers, governments and communities can all benefit from consumer participation.
