We are pleased to announce the publication of this Scoping Document on the Inclusion of Disabled Children and Young People in Participation in Decision-Making.

The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY), Hub na nÓg and the National Disability Authority (NDA) formed a partnership to produce resources for policy-makers and those who facilitate the participation of disabled children and young people in decision-making, with a particular focus on those who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). The views of children and disabled persons organisations were included in the creation of this scoping document via consultations with children and the input of a Disability Working Group.

The aim of this scoping document is to provide advice on approaching participative processes and initiatives. The scoping document has been prepared by researchers from the School of Inclusive and Special Education, Institute of Education, Dublin City University.

This document is informed by the Literature Review on the Inclusion of Disabled Children and Young People in Participation in Decision-Making published earlier this year and will provide the basis of the development of further resources by Hub na nÓg.

The Scoping Document is available to read in our Library here: https://t.co/FQcKWFjrpv
