My Health Choices My Way: How we are transforming health care transitions for people with intellectual disability
The webinar was hosted by the Disability Innovation Institute
We introduced our new project called My Health Choices My Way.
We talked about the project led by
1. Iva Strnadová
2. Emma Palmer
3. Julie Loblinzk Refalo OAM
4. Skie Sarfaraz
What we talked about
We said that moving from child doctors to adult doctors can be scary.
We explained that many young people with intellectual disability
are not taught how to speak up
- about their health choices.
Often doctors talk over young people
- and only speak to their parents.
We said that this is not right.
We want to change it.
Our mascot competition
At the webinar we also talked about our mascot competition
We invited young people with intellectual disability
- between 12 and 28 years old.
Participants need to create a mascot that shows
- good health care
The prize is an iPad
We will also show the mascots on our website.
