Description
This report explores the lives of students with a disability including health and wellbeing, housing insecurity, and creating a brighter future.
Findings:
- Most young people with disabilities reported positive family and school environments, high rates of volunteering, and moderate or good health.
- However, members of this group also reported major inequities compared to others, including increased concerns about housing, poor healthcare access, and ethnic discrimination by healthcare providers.
- They reported inequities in feeling safe at school and very high levels of mental health concerns.
- Overall, they reported more challenges than their peers without disabilities.
