RESEARCH CONTINUITY
From Participant To Research Collaboration
The observation presented above represented not only a process of functional restoration, but also the beginning of long-term participation within the evolving research environment.
Following years of continued observation, personal experience and ongoing involvement within the environment, the participant later became actively engaged in the continued development of the cQtherapy Research Institute and the cQ Core environment.
This long-term participation provided a unique opportunity to continue observing, evaluating and refining the research environment through direct experience accumulated over many years.
The decision to remain within the environment was not based on theoretical assumptions.
It was based on continuous personal observation, lived experience and long-term participation.
Over time, participation evolved into collaboration, and collaboration evolved into active contribution to the continuing development of the research environment itself.
