Abstract

This storybook “My adventures in the Innowalk” is aimed as an accessible research output for the participants and their families. It aims to give ‘voice’ to those whose voices are often overlooked. Their own words are placed in “italics”. This is the talking storybook version. This storybook came about from data that was collected during a research study funded by the Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists in 2022. This study observed ten children and young people using the Innowalk, at a special school in 2022-23. The three observations of each participant were mapped onto a new well-being scale and were supported by interviews and a diary, written by them or their parents. Their stories are presented from the youngest to the eldest to describe and promote their well-being experiences of the Innowalk. The funding for this story book came from the Baily Thomas Charitable Trust, who awarded a small grant in 2023. This enabled a graphic illustrator to be employed and Alison Howard was recruited for this task. Alison and I have worked in tandem to develop each illustration, based on the data, and some additional photographs, that parents provided, to authenticate the illustrations. It has been a joy to work on this book, as an accessible research output. This contribution to knowledge about disabled children’s well-being is unique and forms part of disabled children’s social justice, as their voices deserve to be heard.
