#ASID2018 StoryBooth bonus ep three - Equal Rights for Everyone!

Our third and final bonus episode of self-advocate stories from the #ASID2018 Conference are about the quest for equal rights. These bonus eps link real life experiences to research from ASID journals.

Make sure you catch up on the first and the second bonus episode from the conference StoryBooth to hear more stories.

In this episode, Ben and Lachlan tell the #ASID2018 StoryBooth about their bullying experiences and how this negative experience led Lachlan to offer peer support to others. We also hear from a Special Olympian Madelyn who spoke about the right to community inclusion and Ian who spoke about the right to be a parent.

Your hosts, Hilary and Sophia, discuss the relevant research. We would love you to tell us about any research we missed using the hashtag #ASIDpod!

Here are the links to the articles we mention:

•Werner's article Athletes', parents', and siblings' experiences from the Special Olympics World Games in JIDD.

•Robertsons' and her colleagues's article Self-reported smoking, alcohol and drug use among adolescents and young adults with and without mild to moderate intellectual disability in JIDDDon't miss out on this years conference in Adelaide!

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.
