The Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center has begun a research project, Families of Color Advocacy, to learn about parents/caregivers of color's advocacy efforts and experiences to ensure their deaf or hard of hearing children's educational needs are met. The undertaking of this research project is based on key principles so that individuals involved with the project learn about perspectives, knowledge, and experiences that are not a part of their culture, language, and/or identity. Knowledge about experiences of parents/caregivers of color advocating for their deaf or hard of hearing children (Borum, 2007; Ramsey, 2000; Steinberg, Davila, Collazo, Loew, & Fischgrund, 1997; Struxness, 2000) is still developing. As a result, the research study is based on three principles: (1) openness to multiple meanings of parent advocacy; (2) inclusion of multiple perspectives; and (3) involvement of community members throughout the research process. In this article, the authors discuss each principle and lessons learned so far.
