Abstract:
Much of the published research is "on" rather than "with" children and young people with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN). According to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), children's views must be considered and taken into account in all matters affecting them. In this paper, we discuss ways in which innovative qualitative methods have been used to explore the views of children and young people with SLCN. We also discuss how we can apply concepts from qualitative research, in particular critical reflexivity, to shape our thinking, inform our practice, and lead to innovation in our work with children and young people with SLCN.
