Research Methods with Disabled Populations

Abstract: Although social work and related fields need more research involving people with disabilities, such studies can pose special challenges due to lack of understanding of disability issues, the disempowerment and invisibility of many who are disabled, and communication barriers. This article discusses ways of eliminating bias and maintaining ethical safeguards when designing and conducting research on people with disabilities. Participatory action research, which engages those studied in the design and conduct of… Show more

In addition, Eckhardt and Anastas (2013) noted that “on average the deaf adult will not understand more than 26%–40% of one-on-one conversation through lip-reading” (p. 241), and the U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ, 2006) noted that “only about one third of spoken words can be understood by speech reading.” However, it is again important to recognize that some deaf individuals do not sign and may in fact choose lip reading as their preferred mode of communication. Despite the controversy noted above, signing should not be imposed on a deaf individual.…”

“…Consequently, service users and research participants are seen as patients, relatively powerless, in need of assistance, and lacking any relevant knowledge or experience (Beresford, 2013). This perspective has led to their frequent exclusion from research and policy design and implementation (Chenoweth, 2016;Cocks, 2008;Eckhardt and Anastas, 2007), a phenomenon Oliver (1992) has described as "research as alienation" (p. 103). Social work has therefore come under sharp critique from disability scholars and activists, in part for these dynamics but also for the paternalism and unequal power relations they reinforce.…”
