Abstract: You can involve people with disabilities and their families in conducting meaningful research to improve lives and communities. This type of research is called participatory action research. Universities, non-profit agencies and clinics have all found ways to include people from the disability community in finding the answers to important questions about services, systems and strategies. Using material from the National PAR toolkit developed through funding from the Administration on Developmental Disabilities, our speakers Dean Westwood and Cathy Haarstad will provide a thoughtful, humorous and easy-to-follow overview of why agencies should get involved in research and why and how to involve people with disabilities and their families. If you are working at a UCEDD, non-profit agency, school or health care clinic, this training will introduce you to the basics and benefits of planning and conducting participatory action research.
