“It has been my privilege to work with Kylie over the years. She is a leading advocate and accomplished public speaker. Kylie has generously shared her expertise in several of our research projects over time. Kylie’s work is highly impactful in breaking down barriers. She challenges us all to think differently about people with Down syndrome and intellectual disability.” - January 2024

“Kylie makes outstanding valued contributions in her work. I am very grateful to have Kylie work as a sessional academic at Western Sydney University, where she delivers exceptional lectures to our post-graduate psychology students, with Alfie’s assistance. She opens students minds to the barriers and potholes that life can bring, and the ability to overcome. Yet another skill, Kylie is an excellent actor, being interviewed by our students for their live skills role play assessment task. And now Kylie is named chief investigator on a NHMRC research project, playing a critical role in this project, as well as securing the grant funding. Thank you Kylie for your excellent work”
