Conference Theme was “Let’s Shake it Up; Human Rights for Everyone”
The conference was held in the Gold Coast, Queensland, 14-16 November 2018.
The Conference theme was chosen by a group of self-advocates and it speaks to their vision. Their vision: that things need to change so that people with intellectual disability finally achieve the same rights that others enjoy (that has been denied and continue to be denied).
Aim of the Conference
The conference aims to present an inclusive and exciting program with many opportunities for discussion and debate. ASID’s focus is research to practice – the dialogue between researchers, practitioners, service providers, governments, families and people with intellectual disability which has the goal of finding better ways to support inclusion for individuals and to change systems.
