Advocates a participatory research paradigm as a powerful and liberating strategy to deliver meaningful services to people with disabilities. Through the participatory process the sharing of client experiences benefits both the clients (by turning their passivity into activity) and those who deliver services to them. It is a major thesis of this paper that a new research paradigm in the field of learning disability must emerge from a clearer comprehension of the essential identity of people with a learning disability and the reality of their life experiences and situations.
