Including people with disabilities in research

TBC

In this step, you will hear from researchers with disabilities Professor Tom Shakespeare, Florence Ndagire, Mark Carew, Lorraine Wapling, Queen Seketi, and Ola Abualghaib as they share their perspectives on the importance of including people with disabilities research that concerns them.

The concept of “Nothing About Us Without Us” is raised – which is a useful slogan that describes the idea that no policy should be decided without the full participation of members of the group affected by that policy. The same applies to research. It is important to reflect on this throughout the course as we learn about different research methods used to gather evidence on disability.

Enjoy hearing their perspectives on how and why people with disabilities can be included throughout the whole research process.
