Inclusive Research Criteria.
| Walmsley & Johnson’s (2003) Criterion | Case Study 1 | Case Study 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1. The research problem must be one that is owned by people with disabilities. | While community members did not develop the research question, they stated a value for the question and identified a shared understanding of the research topic. | While community members did not develop the research question, they valued examining the people, places and things that were salient factors of their everyday lives. |
| 2. The research should further the interests of disabled people; non-disabled researchers should be on the side of people with disabilities. |
|
|
| 3. The research should be collaborative in that people with disabilities should be involved in the process of doing the research. | Both projects developed accessible methods to ensure community members were able to actively engage in all stages of the research process. The use of photography helped community members take control of the research process, as they were able to independently select content for data collection and dissemination. | |
| 4. People with disabilities should be able to exert some control over process and outcomes. | People with IDD selected what to photograph, where to meet, and how to share findings. | People with IDD selected what to photograph, and how to share findings. |
| 5. The research question, processes and reports must be accessible to people with disabilities. |
