Welcome to Glasgow!
This is the very first time ever that IASSID has been
—been in the UK.
It's a real privilege to have people come here.
And I think when you see Glasgow through other
people's eyes you realise we do live in a wonderful place.
Glasgow is a brilliant city and it's a really
welcoming city.
Love Glasgow.
I was here 35 years ago as a student visiting
and delighted to come back.
I’ve been enjoying,
meeting and greeting people and asking them
if they know where they’re going.
I really want to meet people with similar connections.
I want to know what's happening in the field
of intellectual disability.
Scotland seems to be a part of the UK where
learning disability research seems
to be very strong.
I'm looking forward to talking to people and finding out
how we can all work together.
What's really nice is folk coming together,
being able to share all the kind of experiences
and share all their very different views of how
things happen and where they come
from and what they find here. So, it's lovely.
I think it's a good thing because I've got
learning difficulties.
They’re doing more for people with learning difficulties
now than what they did before.
That's a very positive message and that's a message
that I think Glasgow can be proud of
And I just think it really showcased how the lives of people
with learning disabilities can be really full and really rich.
The weeks been fantastic.
We've met people from all over the world.
Some are old friends, and some are new.
It's just been really great to see this sort
of breadth of topics covered and lots of really
interesting learning disabilities research
from all over the world.
And it's been great. It's been a great buzz.
Workshops and lectures have been amazing,
keynotes have been amazing.
All the ambassadors and volunteers have worked really hard.
