LDAN meeting.
This went ok! It is better to have a little group. Lynne went with Victoria to this meeting.
There was a lot of work done.
We told them that people with a learning disability are not stakeholders. It is their life.
There was an idea to run an accessible conference for people a with learning disability to find out about research.
There are 4 groups that take part. All will have
to run an accessible conference for people with
a learning disability.
We are doing one in July. We need to tell
everyone what is research is. In the morning
people will find out about research.
In the afternoon people will be able to do some
research.
We can have a champion for example in how
to make easy read information. Then we could have workshop like we do in TRAC.
