Empowered participation
- Key outcomes of empowerment are control and choice and in many ways we feel that LEXDIS participants were able to exert control and choice through their participation in the project. Participants:
- Controlled the extent to which they were identified with the label "disabled";
- Controlled, through editing and validation processes, the content and presentation of their interview transcripts and case studies;
- Exerted influence over the design and development of the data collection tools;
- Chose whether or not to participate in each of the phases of the project;
- Chose what strategies to offer for the database and the medium through which these strategies would be communicated.
