Welcome to the Participatory Action Research (PAR) Toolkit!

PAR is a valid research option that researchers as well as community members have found to be meaningful.

During your visit we hope that you find valuable information to assist you in learning about PAR. This Toolkit provides resources to support UCEDD professionals, people with disabilities and their families, and other community partners in developing PAR research initiatives. More Information is also available by viewing the Rationale for Developing the Toolkit.
