Acquiring physical disability during adolescence

We are looking for participants aged 18-29 who acquired a physical or sensory impairment during adolescence who agree to be interviewed with their parent(s). Interviews will be conducted individually, and will take approximately 1-2 hours.

This study is completely voluntary, and will not impact any future relations with the University of Sydney.

Ethics approval number: 2019/977.

You may be eligible to participate in this study if you:

• are an English-speaking young adult (due to lack of funding for translators) and;
• are 18-29-year-old (study focuses on transition-to-adulthood) and;
• have a permanent/chronic physical or sensory impairment acquired during adolescence.

If you are interested in assisting with this important and exciting area of research, please contact the study facilitator:
