Research Basics Training: Working Towards Inclusive Autism Research
This webinar will provide an overview of a participatory project in which a team of Autistic and non-Autistic collaborators created and delivered an adaptable, multi-modal research training curriculum for Autistic Adults to build capacity for inclusion in research, and to build transferrable skills like teamwork, consensus-oriented decision making, and effective communication. The trainees participated in focus groups to set a research agenda on gender and sexuality.
Topics will include:
- An overview of the principles of Community Based Participatory Research and other community engagement approaches.
- An overview of the Research Basics Course content.
- How the training provided an opportunity to work side by side with community partners in setting research priorities for the Gender, Sexuality and Reproductive Health node of AIR-P and for an international collaboration.
- How the training can be used and adapted by autism researchers and some institutional challenges faced by teams that include community partners.
