Abstract/SummaryPurpose of Review: Inclusive research practices are important for neurodevelopmental studies, facilitating the involvement of community members throughout the research process. Highlighting this value, we reiterate our previously proposed framework for inclusive research practice and present a selection of case studies showcasing successful implementation of inclusive approaches. Recent Findings: Across four invited case studies, authors illustrate how neurodivergent people can be effectively involved in research, providing meaningful input and shaping outcomes. Our report concludes that these case studies underscore the significance of building relationships, prioritizing community well-being, and considering diverse identities in neurodevelopmental research. We call for careful evaluation of the impact of inclusive practices on community representatives and advocate for enhanced reporting in academic journals, and use of online repositories to share the materials that support coproduction. Summary: Despite the recognized benefits, a lack of detailed reporting on inclusive methods poses a challenge for researchers. This report provides valuable insights for researchers aiming to instigate, establish or develop their inclusive practice.
