Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation science
  • Disability studies
  • Youth development

Background:

  • Clinicians, educators, and employers often lack disability confidence, impacting interactions and inclusion of individuals with disabilities.
  • Understanding how to foster disability confidence in youth is crucial for promoting social inclusion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the development of disability confidence among youth who volunteered with children with disabilities.
  • To identify factors contributing to the progression of disability confidence in young volunteers.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted 30 in-depth interviews with youth aged 15-25 (16 without disabilities, 14 with disabilities).
  • Employed an interpretive, qualitative, thematic analysis approach to analyze interview data.

Main Results:

  • Four themes emerged: "disability discomfort," "reaching beyond comfort zone," "broadened perspectives," and "disability confidence."
  • Participants moved from unease and lack of knowledge to increased understanding, challenged stereotypes, and developed positive attitudes and knowledge about disabilities.
  • Youth with and without disabilities experienced a similar developmental process, with some nuanced differences.

Conclusions:

  • Volunteering is an effective strategy for developing disability confidence in youth.
  • Developing disability confidence enhances social inclusion by fostering positive attitudes, empathy, and communication skills.
  • Clinicians, educators, and employers should promote volunteering and service-learning opportunities to build disability confidence.
