Abstract: This article presents guidance for researchers planning school-based mixed methods research studies involving students with extensive support needs. The purpose of the article is to briefly summarize previous research in this area, identify common challenges that reflect the contexts in which this research can occur, and offer strategies to anticipate and mitigate these challenges when designing a research project. The article outlines these strategies in the various stages of project planning and implementation, and in relation to updated standards for mixed methods special education research.
