Understanding barriers and facilitators of recreation and leisure participation among racial/ethnic minoritized youth with disabilities (Clinician perspectives)
Summary
Our team is trying to identify what specific barriers hinder racial/ethnic minoritized youth with disabilities from accessing leisure activities or programs and what strategies or policies may facilitate their participation. Mitigating discriminatory barriers can help us increase leisure participation among racial/ethnic minoritized youth with disabilities, leading to more social engagement and inclusion.
