If you are interested in running your own collaborative photography project and are interested in adapting photovoice methodology to work with people with learning disabilities online, I would recommend looking at some of the projects outlines below.
TOP 3 RECOMENDATIONS WHEN RUNNING YOUR OWN PROJECT
- The combination of photovoice and photo elicitation interview allows people with learning disabilities to communicate their experience of everyday life regardless of mobility issues or geographical location.
- Using disposable cameras were effective in its mobility but pose issues in terms of reliability accessibility.
- Recorded Zoom conversations provided a successful alternative to written notes to accompany photographs
