Consumer Involvement

A new resource to inspire and strengthen consumer involvement practice

Consumer involvement has been critical to CP-Achieve's research practice, with consumers involved  in all stages and activities.

After five years of championing authentic consumer involvement , CP-Achieve  has captured its stories and strategies in a new resource.

Navigating consumer involvement in health and disability research shares how CP-Achieve identified and supported consumers with disability and their parents, created a small grants fund to encourage early involvement, and equipped researchers to meaningfully engage with consumers.

The resource features insights from five research projects, highlighting the roles, activities, costs, and impacts of consumer involvement. It also explores inclusive approaches for working with adolescents and young adults with disability, augmentative and alternative communication users, and parents – showcasing real-world strategies for making research accessible, safe, and authentic.

Throughout, you’ll find reflection points, best practice examples, lessons learned, and key takeaways to support your own learning journey.
