Hello! Are you listening? Disabled teenagers’ experience of access to inclusive leisure

Pippa Murray

Using young people’s own accounts, an exploration of the leisure activities available to disabled young people.

In spite of increasing legislative and political commitment to inclusion, disabled young people still face considerable challenges in their leisure activities.

One hundred young people from four projects providing a variety of leisure activities for disabled teenagers participated in this research. Through their discussions, writings, drawings, photographs and artwork, they bring their experiences of leisure to life. They describe feelings of exclusion, isolation and loneliness but also their ways of coping and suggestions for making things better. In asking to be treated respectfully, the young people indicate ways in which change can be implemented.
