- Aim: To examine how acting in a research-circle could empower people with ID.Method: For 15 years, using a co-research paradigm, six people with ID workwith me as partners and co-operators to develop focal questions from their everyday lives. We gather, act, interpret and present the data together. On their behalf, I will present some of their research-questions and some of the results ofour interviews and first-hand experiences. Results: The results showed that these six people, one man and five women, working together with me as a researcher, had important research questions about their everyday life experiences. They, for example, have experienced phenomena such as being between worlds. The research method has empowered them to a greater knowledge about society. This research also showed that professional social care workers sometimes help improve life conditions. But sometimes, factors that should empower people with ID are misused. Conclusion: To work with user participation in this kind way as a practical social care worker is possible. This empowerment philosophy requires attention to both staff and researcher intentions, their action and follow through over time.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Aim: Fifteen years ago an ongoing research-circle was started. We are five women and one man with learning difficulties, 30-67 years old, working with a researcher. This work is based on a wish that people with learning diffi culties have to learn about and become "visible" in society. Method: This research-circle uses the participatory action research approach, both to make the co-participants themselves "visible" in society and to learn about society. Results: The six participants have reached their goal of being "visible" – they are empowered. They say they feel good. They are known today in their society as Alobis. Conclusions: It takes good will, time and effort, but is possible for people with learning diffi culties to make a change, both for themselves and others in same situation.
