Abstract
This webinar will explore the “What About Me?” project. Funded by the NIHR (Research for Patient Benefit), the project investigates what it is like to be a person with learning disabilities who relies on unfunded support. The project has been co-produced with self-advocates, and this presentation will explore the experiences of those who have been involved in developing the research, doing the interviews, and making sense of what the data says. We will also explore the importance of the topic for people with learning disabilities and what we have learned so far.
This webinar is part of our Autumn 2024 ExChange Wales Conference ‘Being Seen, Heard and Valued’.
