About this Reference Group

A group of people. 2 people are raising their hands to say something.

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

This Reference Group is about home and living supports.

The Reference Group gives advice to the IAC about how people with disability can:

A person in front of a house.
  • live in their own home

A hand choosing between 3 houses.

  • choose where they want to live.

They also give advice to the IAC about how people with disability can:

A person cooking at home.
  • do things for themselves in their home

A large group of people outside.

  • take part in their community.

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

We just call them the NDIA Board.
