We believe everyone has the potential to make a positive impact, regardless of intellectual ability. That's why we’re proud to support The Valued Contribution Research, led by Dr. Sam Arnold from Western Sydney University.

The Valued Contribution Research highlights the importance of contributions made by people with intellectual disability, showing that everyone feels a sense of purpose and fulfilment when they contribute.

Why this research matters

Our support for this research reflects our commitment to inclusivity, meaningful measures and advocacy for people with intellectual disability as valuable members of society.

We are excited about this research because it is helping develop an assessment tool based on the voices of people with intellectual disabilities, fostering greater understanding and recognition of their contributions.

By focusing on strengths and contributions, this initiative aligns closely with our purpose of making possibilities a reality for everyone.
