| Abstract: | This article explores the value of the disability research process and outcomes, as viewed by those to whom the research is often directed-the research participants and their peers. The author discusses the "golden rule" for conducting research with people with disabilities and cites literature on participatory action research to assess research outcomes--especially the relevance of such research for those to whom it purports to benefit. The author also discusses guidelines to make disability research more participatory and empowering to those who are identified as beneficiaries of the research outcomes.
