Our Voice SA is a peer-led, self-advocacy group for adults with intellectual disability. In 2020, the group received a 3-year ILC grant to deliver the Reaching Out project. This is the final evaluation report for the project.

This article explains the authors' research for the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability, that focuses on what society can do to change attitudes towards people with disability so that we are all included in our communities.

This report presents the findings from research that aimed to provide new knowledge on the nature and extent of domestic and family violence experienced by children with disability (0 to 18 years), and the experiences of children and young people with disability (8 to 24 years) and their families of using support services.

This study provides a deeper insight into the exposure to domestic and family violence for children with disability. It lays the groundwork for the future research that is required into service provision and access for children with disability, and the design of preventative and responsive services and supports.

This research paper outlines evidence found about interventions to change attitudes towards people with disability. The interventions were aimed at different levels where change may occur - people’s personal perceptions, their interactions with other people, their roles in organisations or the structures in their community and government.
