Abstract

In this paper, I examine the role of participants in research, and their relationships with researchers. I suggest three reasons to consider the nature of participation in research: to direct the ethical decisions, protections and processes in the research; to ensure the quality of the research; and to guide the dissemination, translation and impact of the research. I illustrate each of these points with some examples from the field of aphasiology, and suggest that participatory research designs offer ways to identify and truly respond to the needs of our clients
