I think that there's, like, these are sort of, in my mind are some of the, the, the sort of challenges and opportunities for the IDD community, but maybe you, you see others as well.

Yeah, no, absolutely.

I mean, again, kind of going with my optimistic theme, I think with AI, when you vis- when you see the power of the tools and the, the opportunities that are offered there, I think there's huge potential.

And for, for the community we serve to be able to have, as you say, ways of having materials interpreted or made more accessible, of condensing information into a way that actually people are able to start to access, for opening up ways of developing tools that perhaps, you know, when you look at some of the ways you can, you know you can develop apps and other kind of products through AI tools now that weren't as accessible before, I think that suddenly starts to give opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities to utilize some of the creativity and the ideas that they possess, but maybe utilize some of these tools in a way to do that.

So I think there's lots to, to AI that's incredibly exciting.

And I always think back to when I used to work for a group called the RSA, which is a, an old think tank based out of London, and I remember we set up a project when I was there with a cohort of people with learning disabilities in Scotland who joined as life members, uh, life fellows of the RSA.
10:37
It was the, the best project I was ever involved with, uh, during my time at the organization.
