Bloorview Research Institue Trail Lab at Holland Bloorview would like to understand the diverse lived experiences of youth with physical or apparent disabilities and particularly how disability intersects with race, ethnicity and gender.

    • Able to read/write in English (or with the help of an interpreter, can be provided upon request)

What is involved:

A one hour interview (via zoom or in-person)

Potential Benefits?

There are no direct benefits of participating, but it may help us to learn about we can address discrimination and enhance inclusion of young people with disabilities.
