The All We Want To Say research project was a national survey carried out by researchers working with the National Institute for Intellectual Disabilities. As phase two of the project, researchers wanted to turn their findings into a tool for advocacy and change. To this end, the NIID established a partnership with DCTV to film presentations and develop a DVD educational tool. The methodology used to produce the video mirrored that of the research stage, with participants themselves playing a key role in the edit stage.
