The past few years have seen the development of an important debate over methodology in disability research. The rise of emancipatory and participatory methodologies has meant that disabled people are making increasing demands to be included in the research process. Examines this debate and its implications for learning difficulty research. The article discusses the reasons why participatory methodology is gaining greater acceptance than emancipatory methodology among learning difficulty researchers by examining the position of participatory research in the methodological traditions of social research into learning difficulty.
