“We Want to Understand Their ‘Virtual' World Better, So We Can Make Them Happy”

This chapter describes the role children played in a participatory action research project that aimed to explore the support needs of Pakistani families with disabled children living in the United Kingdom (UK). The children living in a multi-cultural urban area of UK were brought together for this project when their families decided to participate, so that they did not know each other before, were of different ages and studied in different schools. A range of creative and fun activities were used during the fieldwork spread over a period of ten months. The chapter reflects on both the successes and challenges of this project, with implications for using this approach in an educational setting.
