Clare Inclusive Research Group Presents Their Work So Far
The group from Clare presented everyone with the types of work they have been carrying out including:
- Travel Research
- Relationships Research
- Independent Living Research
The presentation they made can be viewed on their webpage about the day
The Drama
They performed an amazing drama for the meeting in which they highlighted the problems facing people with intellectual disabilities when they want to leave home and when they want to have a relationship. There were guards, social workers and family members taking control of the person's life without giving the person any voice of their own.
The Film
A DVD was shown after the barbeque about independent living and how Larry O'Bryan
and Kathleen O'Leary have found this change. There was huge interest in the film and in its message. The film will be available on the
Brothers of Charity Clare website soon.
