A quick response on the eve of Christmas -
Some good authors to search: Mike Oliver, Gery Zarb, Colin Barnes.
Two recent articles worth following up, which in turn might lead you to
some useful material:
Knox, M. & Hickson, F. (2001). The meaning of close
friendships: the views of four people with intellectual
disability. Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual
Disabilities, Vol. 14, pp. 276-291. [NB: Marie Knox has done
a quite a bit of work in area of participatory research - she
is Senior Lecturer in the School of Human Services, Queensland
University of Technology, Beams Road, Carseldine, Queensland,
Australia, 4034; [log in to unmask] ]
Mactavish, J., Mahon, M. & Lutfiyya, Z. (2000). I can speak
for myself: involving individuals with intellectual
disabilities as research participants. Mental Retardation,
Vol. 38, pp. 216-227.
Kind regards,
Keith.
