As previous scholarship has suggested that persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have been viewed as “psycho-medical curiosities” (Dowse, 2009, p. 142), this interactive session will explore best, ethical practices to conduct research alongside persons with IDD appropriately. Moreover, we will introduce best practices for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research. Discussions and session activities will be introduced from our research team’s completed studies.
