Doing Disability Research

2006 - 2010 Doing Disability Research

Dr Patricia O'Brien co-ordinated a Marie Curie European Union Transfer of Knowledge Project involving a number of international experts as well as post-doctoral fellows, who are transferring their knowledge into the Trinity College and broader Irish Communities. The aim is to implement a series of projects inclusive of:

A National Survey of people with intellectual disabilities;
A National Survey of family members;
A project to gather and house the life-stories of people with intellectual disabilities; and,
An evaluation of the resource tools developed in the 'No Longer Researching About Us Without Us' project designed for people with intellectual disabilities to learn about research methods and practices.
