Young Disabled People
Aspirations, Choices and Constraints
Recent policies and government initiatives
In many Western countries, recent policies and government initiatives have strengthened the expectation that young disabled people have the right to be involved in decisions affecting their futures. Many of the choices that are currently taken out of young disabled people’s hands, including those relating to education and future employment, are now being viewed as an opportunity to encourage participation in the decision making process.
Study overview

Intended readership
