Co-teaching consultations – resources to support the Intellectual Disability Health Capability Framework

We are doing a research study to find out how people with intellectual disability and support network members want to be involved in co-teaching health content to students.

We also want to know what supports they may need to be involved in co-teaching.

Co-teaching means teaching together with someone else.

If you are a person with intellectual disability or support network member, and would like to take part, find out more at our project page.

C-STAM study

We are looking to develop a new diagnostic tool called Computerised-Sydney Test of Activities of daily living in Memory disorders (C-STAM).

C-STAM will assess functional ability in older people​. The tool will help clinicians detect early cognitive changes in dementia.

We are looking for study participants to help us test the C-STAM. You will be eligible for the study if you are:

  • Aged 60 years or above
  • Living in Sydney
  • Able to understand, read and write in English without an interpreter
  • Have a family member or close friend who will also participate in this study
