N2 - Recruiting participants from disability communities for accessibility research presents unique challenges that require careful consideration of ethical practices, intersectional representation, methodological rigor, and community sustainability. As accessibility research continues to grow and evolve, researchers face tensions between meaningfully including participants with disabilities and addressing emerging concerns around recruited participants not adequately representing the diversity of the community, overburdening certain participants, participant verification, and fair compensation practices. This workshop will bring together members of the ASSETS community to examine current recruiting practices and document insights into ethical, rigorous, and inclusive participant recruitment in disability research. Through facilitated discussions, we will explore three main themes: (1) methods and models, (2) eligibility criteria and participant verification, and (3) ethical and sustainability considerations. The workshop aims to share current practices, identify key challenges, and develop preliminary guidelines to support accessibility researchers in more sustainable participant recruitment.
