Description
People with learning disabilities are rarely invited to participate in research and research language is often complex and inaccessible. People with learning disabilities experience avoidable and premature deaths because of health inequalities. Their involvement in research is, therefore, crucial to tailor improvement of health services. Working in collaboration with Purple Patch Arts (PPA) who are experts in creative and accessible education and the Purple Research Group (PRG; a team of researchers with learning disabilities), we have co-created a toolkit of arts-based activities that explain research concepts in an accessible and imaginative way.
