Accessible summaryWe wanted to show how we try to give the voice of persons with learning disabilities. We have used video as the means by which we can collect and show what people with intellectual disabilities say.We learnt• Video is a tool that offers persons with learning difficulties the opportunity to express their experiences. • Video can help make people with intellectual disabilities more visible and can help us listen to what they have to say.SummaryOur work, based on two pieces of research, aims to show how we try to get the voice of persons with learning disabilities. In both pieces of work, the second of which is still under progress, we have used video as the means by which we can collect and show what people are saying in the context and situation in which they find themselves. As we seek to defend, the video is a tool that can help make certain people more visible (as well as those with learning disabilities) and can help us listen to what they have to say, broadening our knowledge as to the circumstances in which they find themselves or the kinds of relationships we establish with them.
