Lori Letts discussed using frameworks to analyse the level of involvement participants had in projects. One of these was Sherry Arnstein's Ladder of Citizen Participation.
The ladder moves from non-participation to citizen power...... interesting concepts to consider when aiming for client participation in research or occupational therapy.

I think the image you used is a great way to show this idea Magbh. I like how you keep everything easy to follow. Nice work! :)
Thanks heaps Fiona,
great to hear that it is easy to follow...I have really enjoyed figuring out ways to explain the key ideas of this research approach....
Drawing out the key ideas has really consolidated my understanding of the issues. Have you found this to be the case for your blog on sensory integration?
Many years later the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2) more or less flipped the ladder on its side and adopted Arnstein’s ladder of citizen participation as its very own Spectrum of Public Participation.
