Managing My Way
Managing My Way was an innovative project
which aimed to increase the responsibility
disabled children and young people are able
to take for managing their own health conditions. It was
funded by the Department of Health.
As part of this work CDC carried out research with disabled
young people and health care professionals which looked at the
barriers
to young people's involvement and the kinds of tools which help to
overcome those barriers. It also funded us to develop some
new tools to promote disabled young peoples participation in
decisions about their healthcare.
