Keep checking back for new opportunities!

The Freedom to Make Choices: The Experiences of Young People with Disabilities

    • Do you live in Alberta?
    • Are you 16 to 24 years old?
    • Do you experience disability?

 

Then we want to hear from you! The goal is to learn how parents, professionals and others can better support young people with disabilities to make choices and be part of decisions that affect their lives.

We’d like to talk with you about your experiences. We’ll ask about the opportunities and support you have to make choices i your life. Taking part in this studu could take up to 3 hours. We could meet virtually or in-person, depending on where you live.

In thanks, all participants will receive a $25 gift card.

Your experiences can teach us a lot!

If you would like to join the project, or fine out more about it, please email Zoie at zjhansen@ualberta.ca.
