“…Photo-elicitation uses photographs to guide interviews and to stimulate discussions during those interviews. At times the research participants respond to existing photographs that might be in books or other areas of public domain (for example, Newhury, 1996;Smith & Woodward, 1999). At other times, the participants react to photographs that the researcher produced (for example, Collier, 1967;Suchar & Roienherg, 1994).…”

“…By transforming existing public photographic images to reflect their critique, people with intellectual disabilities can create images that oppose the meanings of disability inscribed in the originals, not to ''fix'' photographic images, or to determine ''correct'' disability images (an impossible task in light of the heterogeneity of disability and disability experience), but to render new meanings (Derrida, 1998(Derrida, , 2001a. Photographs that challenge or defy expectations rather than confirming them can be extraordinarily powerful (Newbury, 1996). By inviting nondisabled people to exhibits of the work and engaging them in conversation, a space and opportunity for potentially transformative interactions between people with and without intellectual disabilities is opened (Cole & McIntyre, 2004).…”

“…project. Its design reflected participatory and inclusive research ideologies (Goodley & Moore, 2000;Knox, Mok, & Parmenter, 2000;Newbury, 1996) and arts-informed research methodologies (Cole & McIntyre, 2004;Knowles & Thomas, 2002;Phillips, 2001). Theoretically, it is grounded in critical disability theory and Emmanuel Levinas' idea of our ethical responsibility to the alterity of the Other.…”

“…And what might happen if these transformed images were shown to people who do not have disabilities? Inherent within photographic work, is its potential for exploring and reconstructing understandings of disability in educational and cultural contexts (Newbury, 1996), so that we might ''see'' differently (Kratz, 2002). By transforming existing public photographic images to reflect their critique, people with intellectual disabilities can create images that oppose the meanings of disability inscribed in the originals, not to ''fix'' photographic images, or to determine ''correct'' disability images (an impossible task in light of the heterogeneity of disability and disability experience), but to render new meanings (Derrida, 1998(Derrida, , 2001a.…”

It is well established that public photographic representations of people with intellectual disabilities strongly influences what we think we know about people so labelled. This paper reports on the unanticipated outcomes of a research project that looked at the ways in which public photographs often construct people with intellectual disabilities as dysfunctional, from the perspectives of the labelled people themselves. Research participants with intellectual disabilities were asked to critique a sample of public photographic images and then, using the computer software program, Photoshop, to change the images to reflect their critique. These changed images were then shown to a number of non-disabled audiences. In this paper, I address the unanticipated outcomes of the project: the effects on participants and non-disabled others resulting from activities arising from the project. These unanticipated outcomes speak to the power of visual imagery, to the empowerment that can take place when people with intellectual disabilities are enabled to have their voices heard, and the ways dialogue between people with and without intellectual disabilities can work towards new understandings. Social work, in its concern for social justice, has a role in enabling the expression of the voices of people with intellectual disabilities and facilitating opportunities for dialogue.

This paper describes our Experience-centered Design (ECD) inquiry into the current and potential role of digital photography to support interpersonal communication and expression in a class at a mixed special education needs school. Presented as a case study, we describe five classroom-based Creative Photography workshops that engaged pupils with a broad range of complex special needs, along with classroom staff. We further describe how, from these workshops, we generated a set of qualitative considerations for the design of digital photographic tools to support interpersonal communication and expression in this setting. Additionally, we present the preliminary evaluation of a photo-sorting tool that we developed in response. Our case study demonstrates how an ECD approach can guide an interaction design process in a special education needs setting, supporting interaction designers in understanding and responding pragmatically to the complex and dynamic interactions at play between the stakeholders.
