In recent years, inclusive research has been in the center of attention across a variety of disciplines. This paper focused on research with children and young people with and without disability. The different forms of inclusive research – action, participatory, and emancipatory – show many similarities in their questions and methods. Two key elements, along which these approaches differ, are participation and empowerment. All three approaches have been used successfully with individuals with disability. Depending on the situation, the question, and the population, one approach may be favored over the other. The review of the literature and our own work suggest that children and young people, regardless of their disability, like to be involved in decisions about questions and issues of their own life. Children may contribute new ideas and creative thoughts to research projects about healthcare, education, technology, and childhood. There is evidence that any of the above approaches can be used successfully if the research is well-planned and the strategies are individualized.
