Today’s episode advocates for speech therapists to redefine research as an ethical and relational act of knowledge-making centered on lived experience rather than quantitative control. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, argues that traditional research models prioritise procedural ethics and measurement over the messy, human reality of practice, urging therapists to instead embrace methods like action research that are Situated, Authentic, Co-constructed, Relational, Ethical, and Dialogic (SACRED). Ultimately, she calls for a refusal of the “gold standard” hierarchy in evidence-based practice to allow for the collective generation and sharing of knowledge that honors the voice and agency of neurodivergent participants as co-interpreters of meaning.Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/ethics-before-evidence-conductingLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
