Making connections to support disabled young people to live their lives
iHuman researchers Sally Whitney, Katherine Runswick-Cole, Kirsty Liddiard and Dan Goodley worked with Scope on a research project that explored the lives of disabled young people and the key connections that support them to flourish and thrive.
As a result, the research team launched their Plain English Report. The key priorities identified by disabled young people include:
- Promoting inclusive environments
- Enhancing digital lives
- Developing inclusive technology
