Inclusive Research with Dr. Yona Lunsky

IDD: Get to know me

Welcome back for another season of IDD: Get to know me! In the first episode of our second season, podcast hosts Daniel and Victor interview Dr. Yona Lunsky, the director of the Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre. Together they talk about why inclusion is so important and different ways they are making the Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre, and research at CAMH more inclusive of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Yona shares what motivated her to get involved and continue working in this field for over 20 years. She also discusses the importance of including self-advocates in her work. Yona shares some tips on how she makes positions accessible to self-advocates and what we can do to create accessible and inclusive work environments.
