Abstract

Summary People with intellectual disabilities should have opportunities to work within universities. Inclusive research and coteaching opportunities are some ways that people with intellectual disabilities can have meaningful employment opportunities within universities. This paper was cowritten with people with intellectual disabilities. The paper discusses the experiences of people with intellectual disabilities, researchers and a disability grassroots organisation in coproducing research and teaching experiences. Two coproduced lists were developed: (1) To help universities better understand how to include people with intellectual disabilities in research and teaching opportunities and (2) to help other people with intellectual disabilities know what to do when working at a university.
