Using Co-design to Develop a Participatory Research Agenda for Obesity in People With Intellectual Disability
People with intellectual disability are often excluded from shaping research priorities in areas that directly affect their health, including obesity. This paper describes a co-design process used to develop a research agenda for a PhD program on obesity among adults with intellectual disability. Two Lived Experience Advisory Groups (LEAGs), comprising adults with intellectual disability and supporters, contributed through accessible, participato…
Perspectives of autistic students on school leadership practices supporting their well‐being in mainstream schools
Autistic students in mainstream schools often need additional support to feel included and experience a sense of well‐being. While school leaders play a key role in fostering inclusive environments, research on the views of autistic students about these leaders' roles, particularly principals, remains limited. This article addresses this gap, presenting findings from a photovoice study with autistic adolescents (aged 12–15) about their sense of s…
Co‐Producing Patient‐Reported Experience Measures With People With Intellectual Disability to Improve Healthcare Quality and Outcomes
INTRODUCTION: Intellectual disability, defined by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour with onset during the developmental period, affects an estimated 2% (108 million) of people worldwide. People with intellectual disability experience major health inequity, poor health outcomes and premature deaths, with mortality rates that are 7-12 times higher than the general population. Patient-reported experience…

Building the Environment for Narrative Inquiry With Young People With Intellectual Disability
Narrative inquiry methods are central to qualitative research that seeks to understand phenomena through the lived experiences of research participants. This research used a form of narrative inquiry-storytelling, to invite four young people with intellectual disability referred to as the "story owners" to share their stories about sexuality and relationships. Through a reflexive approach, this article unpacks the relational and physical contexts…

We conducted a systematic search for publicly available peer-reviewed papers reporting the findings of Australian disability research studies focused on Australia in the 2018–2020 period. Papers identified were analyzed according to research topic, participant group, study methodology, and funding sour…
Using online photovoice to facilitate participation of autistic adolescents in research
Drivers and destinations
According to global estimates, there are 10 million people with disability who are displaced representing diverse ethnic, religious, cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Little is known about the refugee experiences of people with disability and their family members or the journeys they have undertaken to seek refuge. This paper explores the drivers and destinations underpinning the refugee journeys made by people with disability and family membe…
Interdependencies in peer work with people with disability
Peer work with people with disability often engages people with lived experience of disability to address social exclusion and isolation experienced by their focus people. This paper discusses findings that are part of a project evaluation wherein peer workers with varied disabilities aimed to support focus people to make community connections for their focus people. Focus people lived in disability group homes in regional New South Wales, Austra…
Photovoice as a platform for empowerment of women with disability
Photovoice is documented as an inclusive and empowering research method that amplifies the voice of marginalised groups. However, in feminist photovoice projects with women, many studies make claims about empowerment, but the claims are seldom evaluated or evidenced. Our photovoice research focused on identity and inclusion of women with physical disability. In this paper, we pose the question: how do the women describe or illustrate personal mea…
‘Through my eyes’
In this paper, we present an exploration of arts-based knowledge translation through photography highlighting the lived experience of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder. It forms part of our larger photovoice research project that involved six female photographers with physical impairment. This group of women shared their personal experiences through photographic stories to challenge pervasive, limiting negative attitudes and assump…
Key characteristics of the refugee journey for Iraqi and Syrian family members who support their children or siblings with disability
Refugees with disability and their families are increasingly resettled in Australia but remain an under-researched group. As such, this study aimed to understand experiences of disability for humanitarian migrants who support a family member with a disability. Interviews took place with 10 family members from Iraqi and Syrian refugee backgrounds living in Australia, whose children or siblings had disability. BenEzer and Zetter’s conceptualisation…
Exploring Embodied Experience via Videoconferencing
Faced with a series of COVID-19 related lockdowns in Australia across 2020 and 2021, and anxious about the safety of our research participants, we developed a novel approach to body mapping, an arts-based research method typically undertaken in-person. We produced a facilitated body mapping workshop hosted via an online videoconferencing platform. Workshops brought together 29 participants with disability, mental distress and/or refugee backgroun…
Protocol Paper

The aim of this small-scale exploratory study is to learn about the journeys made by people with disability from Sy…
Claiming space
Negative attitudes about and behaviours towards women with disability are harmful and give shape to an identity that is imposed by others. Our research sought to challenge these attitudes and behaviours through self-portraits, narratives and photovoice methodology. Six women with disability participated in our feminist photovoice project on identity, producing data that we interrogated through thematic analysis. Our findings indicate that remarks…
A framework for interconnected benefits of peer support for family members of people with disability
Peer support describes the process of giving and receiving support between people who share similar life experiences. It is commonly used by family members of people with disability, with positive outcomes. However, existing research tends to assume it has separate and discrete benefits, neglecting the subtleties of how the different outcomes may be interconnected and mutually reinforcing. An account of these broader connections between benefits …
Women and Stigma
This paper outlines a research and dissemination protocol to be undertaken with specific groups of marginalised women in Australia. Women impacted by significant mental distress, disability, or refugee status are among society's most vulnerable and disenfranchised groups. They can experience significant social exclusion, marginalisation and stigma, associated with reduced help seeking, deprivation of dignity and human rights, and threats to healt…
Exploring the intersection of human rights, health, disability and refugee status
Refugees often come from countries with histories of human rights violations and can face multiple challenges in building a new life in Australia. Little is known about the specific experiences of those who also live with a disability, and how this may impact their rights to health. We present an intersectional approach to using arts-based research to bring to light the embodied experiences of these people, who live at the intersection of multipl…

In 2015, the Australian government committed to take an additional 12,000 refugees from Syria and Iraq prioritizing those considered most vulnerable including people with disability. The aim of this preliminary study was to understand, from multiple stakeholder perspectives, the experiences of settling in Australia for people with disability from Syrian and Iraqi refugee backgrounds living in Sydney. Interviews were conducted with nine family mem…
Importance of Land, family and culture for a good life
Worldwide health and social outcomes of Indigenous people are poorer than those of non‐Indigenous. In Australia, the Indigenous population experience disability at more than twice the rate of the non‐Indigenous population, and a quarter live in geographically remote areas. The challenges associated with accessing services and supports in remote communities can impact on a good life for Aboriginal people with disability. Interviews were conducted …
Listen, learn, build, deliver? Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander policy in the National Disability Insurance Scheme
Despite an increased focus in recent years on Aboriginal people with disability within disability studies and advocacy, limited attention has been paid to Aboriginal people in Australian disability services policy.

The article interrogates …
She was there if I needed to talk or to try and get my point across’
Parents with intellectual disability are overrepresented in child protection matters due to a combination of socioeconomic disadvantage and assumptions of parenting incapacity by child welfare workers and courts. Inability to understand the investigation process or instruct a solicitor can deny these parents equal access to justice. Specialist support can ensure parents exercise their legal capacity to participate in proceedings and have their vi…

Carer and service providers’ experiences of individual funding models for children with a disability in rural and remote areas
There is a global movement for people with a disability towards person-centred practices with opportunities for self-determination and choice. Person-centred approaches may involve individual funding (IF) for the purchase of required support. A shift to a person-centred model and IF should allow people with a disability and their carers greater choice in therapy access. However, individuals who live in rural and remote areas have less choice and …
