This article reaffirms the value and flexibility of the nominal group technique (NGT) when conducting qualitative focus groups (QFGs). In the project that will be discussed, the methods used expanded the application of the NGT into the realm of pan-disability (i.e., individuals with differing impairments) research. It provides requirements and recommendations for the full inclusion and participation of disabled people into projects where the pertinent source of qualitative data is obtained from QFGs. Furthermore, this article describes innovative additional steps to the NGT that are beneficial to researchers. This includes a method of evaluating the data that is often lost between the NGTs' stages of initial and final rankings. These new methods ensure pertinent data are not overlooked.
