A Reference Group is a group of people who give us advice about a certain topic.

The Reference Group shares their ideas with the IAC about how to support people with intellectual disability.

An intellectual disability affects how you:

• learn new things
• solve problems
• communicate
• do things on your own.

This includes support to:

• take part in the community

• make your own decisions.

The IAC use these ideas when they write their advice for the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) Board.

We just call them the NDIA Board.

The NDIA Board is a group of people who make decisions about all parts of the NDIA.
