This interactive workshop will be facilitated by inclusive research teams from Ireland, the Netherlands and the US. The workshop will first explore the history and principles of inclusive research. The inclusive research teams will then share their experiences and the strategies they use in designing, conducting and disseminating their inclusive research projects. The facilitators will be prepared to engage both academic researchers and people with lived experience of disability by gearing workshop discussion and activities to their needs and interests. The workshop will use innovative inclusive teaching practices (e.g. small and large group discussions, brain breaks, and graphic facilitation techniques), and accessible materials (e.g. videos, plain language, and visuals) to accommodate the access needs of workshop participants and facilitators including individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

This workshop focuses on people with IDD in armed conflict zones. It reviews the available data for people and presents a possible engagement model developed from an IASSIDD webinar. The workshop is interactive – it will feature recordings from people who have lived through periods of armed conflicts and a scholar who has research experience. Participants will be invited to share their views and ideas on future research projects and what proactive strategies might improve people lives who are caught in conflict.
