Challenges and Facilitators During Transition to Adulthood of Adolescents with Developmental Disabilities
Project end date: Ongoing project
Researchers at Dalhousie University are conducting a project investigating challenges and resources during transition to adulthood of adolescents with disabilities. The purpose of this project is to uncover barriers and factors that ease the transition to adulthood of adolescents with disabilities from perspectives of youth with disabilities, their parents, and service providers. What we mean by services includes broad spectrum of resources including education, employment, healthcare services, etc. The goal of this study is to have a better understanding of services and resources that are available to support the process of transition to adulthood for young people living with disabilities.
Participation will require involvement in an interview either face to face or over phone or via Skype, whichever is convenient, to share ideas and perspectives. Participants will also be asked to answer some basic questions describing themselves through a confidential online survey platform or filling out paper-based demographic survey. Participation in this study is completely voluntary and participants may choose to stop participating at any time prior to, during, or after the interview. A gift card (e.g., Amazon, based on your choice), valued at $30 will be provided for participant, even if they discontinue participation during the interview process.
