I am an Associate Professor at the National Centre of Excellence in Intellectual Disability Health at UNSW. I am leading the team that is working on translating health information for people with intellectual disability, health professionals, carers and the community. My research focuses on the promotion of sexuality rights of people with disabilities and preventing violence and abuse in the lives of people with disabilities. I work alongside people with intellectual disabilities doing research that is inclusive and led by people with intellectual disabilities.
