Abstract:

This paper is from a team of four researchers working at St George's University of London, two of which have learning disabilities. It presents two studies using focus groups with people with learning disabilities. One study was concerned with ‘What is it like for people with learning disabilities who have a family or friend with cancer?’, and other study explored ‘How to break bad news to people with learning disabilities?’ The paper reports on how the group worked together as a team. The focus groups involved various methods for data collection such as storytelling, role-playing and voting. Overall, the paper concludes that researchers with learning disabilities enable participants with learning disabilities to discuss difficult subjects in unique ways.
