People with intellectual disability (ID) are rarely heard and often presumed not to have valued abilities. This project challenges this assumption by showcasing their skills, accomplishments and potential, creating a resource for teaching, learning and research.
This project is being implemented in partnership with the Commission for the Rights of Persons with Disability. The project team members are: Isabel Bonello, Sandra Borg, Anne-Marie Callus and Cristina Grech.
The team is grateful to all those individuals and organisations [PDF] thanks to whom the plans for this project could become a reality.
