Guidelines for the Creation of Accessible Consent Materials and Procedures: Lessons from Research with Autistic People and People with Intellectual Disability
KB Beck et al
The article discusses the development of guidelines aimed at enhancing informed consent processes in research involving individuals with autism and those with intellectual disabilities. Recognising that traditional consent materials are often complex and inaccessible, the authors propose strategies such as using checklists, participant-centred language, visual aids, and simplified authorisation language to improve understanding. These guidelines emphasise the importance of collaboration with community members and research institutions to create more inclusive and ethical research practices.
