#ASID2018 StoryBooth bonus ep - Stories of what self-advocates do

In the first of a series of three bonus episodes, we hear stories from self-advocates who attended the #ASID2018 Conference StoryBooth and about how recent research from our journals that relates to people's real life experiences.

The first episode is about what self-advocates do with their time. We hear Alison talk about the Brisbane music scene, Alan talk about his job on the Parks Crew, and from Ian the cook and the Vice President Bernard.

Tell us about any research we missed using the hashtag #ASIDpod!

Here are the links to the articles we mention:

•Stacy Clifford Simplican's article Theorising community participation: successful concept or empty buzzword? in RAPIDD.

•Jessica Merrells and colleagues' article The experience of social inclusion for people with intellectual disability within community recreational programs: A systematic review in JIDD

•Camille Gauthier-Boudreault and colleagues' article Scoping review of social participation of individuals with profound intellectual disability in adulthood: What can I do once I finish school? in JIDD

•Cindy Cheng and colleagues' article What constitutes effective support in obtaining and maintaining employment for individuals with intellectual disability? A scoping review in JIDD

We also mention Jo Watson's work on people with unconventional communication. Listen to the podcast episode about Jo's research.

This episode was produced by Buffy Gorilla, Ben Pawson, Sophia Tipping and Hilary Johnson. Special thanks to the ASID board, the communications committee and all the self-advocates who spoke to us. Stay tuned for the next bonus episode on how self-advocates give back.
