People with disabilities participate in designing the research methods? People with disabilities participate in designing the instruments to assure relevance, accessibility, and usability. People with disabilities participate in selecting and recruiting study participants (sample). How Inclusive is the research? D. N. Bryen 2012
- 7. People with disabilities participate in designing the institutional review application (ethics review), especially as it relates to informed consent. People with disabilities participate in data collection. People with disabilities participate in data analysis. People with disabilities participate in writing the research results and conclusions. People with disabilities participate in research dissemination, including publication, presentations, brochures, papers in easy language to ensure accessibility and ease of understanding. People with disabilities participate in ensuring that research findings are sustainable and are used for social justice changes.
- 8. The Researchers Adults with complex learning, adjustment & Function disabilities (4); Professional researches (2). The Research process 20 work meetings, about 3 hours each, (May 2012-may 2015), all graduates of BIS “Inclusive University”.
- 9. The Research Question Is there a correlation between autonomy, dependency, self- image (perception) & Quality of life of people with complex learning disabilities, adjustment and function disorders

Editor's Notes
- #19: הסולם של עצמאות ביחסים הוא סולם מורכב. יש בו פריטים המתייחסים לקשר עם האחר וההשפעה של הקשר עם האחר עלי ויש פריטים המתייחסים לצורך באחר. עבור אוכלוסייה זו פריטים של צורך באחר קיבלו ציונים גבוהים מאלה של ההשפעה של הקשר עם האחר עלי. כך לדוגמא הממוצע בפריט- לעיתים קרובות אני זקוק לחום ואהבה קיבל ציון ממוצע של 3.5 (סולם 1- לא מסכים כלל, 4= מסכים מאוד) והפריט לעיתים רחוקות אני חושב על חוויות ורגשות של אחרים שקיבל ציון ממוצע של 2.9 (4= מסכים מאוד בהשוואה במדגם של אנשים ללא לקות למידה הפריט אני זקוק לחום ואהבה קיבל ממוצע של 2.8 בלבד ולעומתו לעיתים רחוקות אני חושב על חוויות ורגשות של אחרים קיבל ממוצע של .2.4
