Are you a young person with a disability who is also involved with the child intervention or youth justice system?
OR
Do you care for, support, or work with young people with disabilities who are involved in either of these systems?
We want to hear from you!
We are writing a report about what life is like for young people with disabilities who are part of the child intervention or youth justice systems. We would like to learn more about what sorts of things are helpful and make life better and what sorts of things make life harder and should be changed.
For this report, we are defining disability as:
“Any condition of the body or mind (impairment) that makes it more difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities (activity limitation) and interact with the world around them (participation restrictions).” – Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Ways you can participate:
