Are you a teen or young adult with a developmental disability? 

Would you like to try a new activity in your community?

This study is looking for teens and young adults ages  14- 21 with developmental disabilities such as cerebral palsy, autism, or intellectual disability.

Young people and their parents will complete questionnaires about the physical and social environment, the activities they do, and how they feel about themselves.

Questionnaires will be completed three times over four months. After the first meeting, each young person will receive a $50 gift certificate to try a new activity, like going to the movies or a restaurant. 

Young people will also receive gift certificates when they and their parents complete the questionnaires: $25 after the second session and $30 after the third session. 

 Some teens enjoyed talking about themselves and what they like to do in the community. Some parents said that their teens enjoyed setting a goal and talking about their goal with the researcher.

Jessica Kramer at Boston University is in charge of this study.
