"This book is based on research, funded by the European Social Fund, with young disabled people, aged between 13 and 23, in full-time education. It presents their stories about making transitions and choices for their occupational futures. Parts of the research have already had influence in British government, informing the preparation of the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit report "Improving the Life Chances of Disabled People. This book makes all of the research available to a broader audience... Explores the social and personal factors young disabled people think might enable or constrain their choices." - BOOK JACKET
