Advisers with lived experience of severe and profound learning disabilities

ngrove2 — 2024-07-01 15:45:48 UTC

We want to create an advisory group that is representative of this important and marginalised population. I want to know what are the key terms that such a group need to grasp...eg. the concept of "research". What is a game, a movement, a gesture, an image, a sound, and an object to represent "research" ? What other terms are really needed?

When I tap my Oyster card / debit card on the points at Docklands Light Rail - it is sometimes hard to hear the bleep or see the light. I wish it was easier for me to know that I have tapped my card in.
