Abstract
- Research which involves disabled children and young people now constitutes a fairly well-established body of work in the social sciences. However, discussion on the role of the (normally adult) researcher has arguably been marginalised in the much-needed exploration of disabled children's 'voices'. Drawing on a qualitative study of the transition to adulthood for young men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, this paper reflects on the interview 'encounter' between the interviewer, young men and their families. It suggests that we may learn more about the experiences of disabled children and young people if we can find ways of describing the co-production of responses, non-responses and meaning within research interviews.
