Why are disabled people with learning difficulties being prevented from leading campaigns, projects and initiatives?

Abstract

I am a disabled person with learning difficulties. This article describes my perspective on the involvement of disabled people in campaigns, projects and initiatives. I have noticed a gradual change, where LD people are less likely to be in decision-making roles, and more likely to be engaged in subordinate roles such as consultant, research participant, and co-producer of resources. I argue that this situation should be challenged, and that LD people should be supported to lead these activities in a way that contributes to their emancipation.
