A framework for disability lived expertise
This article introduces a framework for disability lived expertise, aiming to address the undervaluing of contributions from people with disability in crucial sectors such as policy, services, rehabilitation, education and research. It distinguishes between disability lived experience, which is the personal and individual experience of disability, and 'lived expertise', which builds on personal experience through critical reflection and engagemen…
Disability lived experience and expertise: Recognising the expert contributions of people with disability
While the inclusion of 'disability lived experience' is increasingly advocated for in research, policy and practice, its conceptualisation and application present significant challenges. This article, a collaborative effort by 16 individuals with diverse disabilities and expertise, critically examines the limitations inherent in the current usage. We argue that prevailing interpretations of 'lived experience' presume subjectivity and over-emphasi…
Structures of Oppression or Inclusion: What Systemic Factors Impact Inclusion in Disability and Rehabilitation Research
This manuscript considers the drivers towards inclusive research in the field of disability and rehabilitation; including some of the tools and frameworks that may support its realisation. We, a group of researchers engaged in rehabilitation research from lived experience and 'conventional' (non-lived experience) positions, reflect on our collective endeavours to bring about inclusion in research and specify the systemic factors constraining incl…
Dissolving Ableism: Could Disabled People Flourish During the First Aotearoa New Zealand Covid-19 Lockdown
Societal culture, space, and structure have been unprecedentedly disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic creating disproportionate vulnerability for disabled people. However, the upheaval of many societal conditions has presented enabling opportunities for disabled people. We report on interviews with 30 disabled people during the first four-week Aotearoa New Zealand COVID-19 lockdown. Three key themes were interpreted: “I am experiencing less dis…

The Burwood Academy: Incorporating the Principles of the Independent Living Paradigm Into Rehabilitation Research
Purpose The independent living (IL) movement is a social movement but also an analytic paradigm which can be used to inform and shape rehabilitation research and practice. The purpose of this paper is to describe how the principles of DeJong’s IL paradigm have been used to develop a guiding framework for the Burwood Academy, a rehabilitation and disability research organisation in New Zealand. The Burwood Academy drew on the consumer empowerment …
A user‐led consultation model: Making inclusion of service users in research a reality
Purpose Disabled people who are the end‐users (EU) of health services have a poor record of inclusion, yet a major stake in the quality of scientific research that informs the development of health knowledge and interventions. In traditional rehabilitation research it has been the researcher who sets the agenda, including determining the research question, study design and methods, and who controls dissemination of findings. This paper aims to de…
