In this blog, AAC Users’ Voices in Research, researchers and people with cerebral palsy who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) describe how they worked together to develop a framework for making research more accessible and inclusive.
The blog highlights the importance of involving AAC users directly in research, rather than relying on family members or support workers to speak on their behalf. It outlines practical strategies for improving accessibility in recruitment, communication, research methods, ethics, and consent, helping researchers create more respectful and meaningful opportunities for participation.
