People with intellectual disabilities are often excluded from research, as participants and researchers. This book challenges the status quo, giving readers the tools to do research more accessibly and inclusively.

Using a range of examples, the book offers practical guidance on topics from working inclusively to choose a research question to accessible forms of dissemination. It also:

Gives grounded advice acknowledging the realities and constraints of doing real-world research; Highlights good practice from across the globe, discussing research from Europe, Australasia and more;Models reflexivity, with critical reflections from the authors about their positionality and approach.

This book is the ideal companion for any health or social researcher wanting their project to be accessible or inclusive to people with intellectual disabilities so all voices are heard and valued.
