Abstract

People with PMLD are marginalised in society. This marginalisation extends to research, and people with PMLD are often the ‘subjects’ of university studies. This means that research is often done ‘on’ people with PMLD rather than ‘with’ them and with those involved in their care. In this article we describe our vision for a new research agenda. We are developing a research network run by disabled people, for disabled people. We want to explore how people with PMLD and their families/carers/allies can be involved in conducting research that matters to them.
