Abstract

This article explores the decision-making process with a group of people with learning difficulties in an inclusive research project. The article explores the literature around people with learning difficulties and decision-making, drawing in particular on studies using conversation analysis. Three examples drawn from the research process and illustrated by transcripts of video data are then examined critically to unpick the author’s claims of collaborative decision-making. Points of interest • This article is about an inclusive research project where the author worked with four co-researchers. • The article looks at how we made some decisions about setting up the project. • To do this, the author looked at video recordings of our discussions to see who actually made important decisions. • The article shows that sharing decision-making is difficult, but can improve with practice. • The article will help other researchers who try to perform inclusive research.
