Abstract
![CDATA[As described throughout this book, body mapping as a research method facilitates an embodied exploration of a specific topic. The embodied nature of body mapping encourages participants to think in abstract ways to create a visual representation of their experience. As such, body mapping may be viewed as an esoteric and artistic activity with little relationship to practical research outcomes and outputs. In this chapter, we describe, in more detail, Study 5 that was undertaken with the purpose of creating a practical guide for use by and with people with intellectual/cognitive disability and complex support needs. The resulting guide, 'Living the life I want': A guide for planning, is a high-quality visual planning aid the content, layout, and format of which were informed through the use of body mapping.]]
