Aim: this paper aims to briefly describe some current approaches to participative research and technological development with people with disability in the Republic of Ireland (Roi).
Methods: Two aspects of a shared approach are used to highlight lessons learnt from participative research and development.
Findings: Ethical issues that emerge with research and development are highlighted. It also demonstrates the potential for service user empowerment, arising out of participative approaches.
Discussion: Issues arising from service user participation in research reveal it to be a powerful tool for sharing a vision across both disability and mainstream education and employment services in the ROI. Future research is required in the area, in addition to local and national guidelines to foster more extensive educational/community participatory research ventures. Funding support for expert AT Users, for community partners and an increased recognition for non-traditional research is also required.
