Are you a parent or guardian of a young person (aged 16–22) with an intellectual disability (ID) living in BC? You are invited to participate in a student led research study about the parents/guardians’ experience navigating the transition to adulthood (TTA) process for their children with intellectual disabilities (ID) in British Columbia. The objective of this study is to examine the TTA system for students with IDs and their families, identifying both the barriers that may hinder successful transitions and the supports that can promote positive outcomes, with particular attention to parents’ experiences. Your participation will help researchers identify both strengths and challenges within the TTA process and generate insights that may inform practices and policies aimed at fostering more effective transition preparation and positive family experiences.

Participation involves a confidential online survey. You have 5 days left to participate – the deadline is May 30th, 2026! Your insights can help inform better planning and support for families in the future. Participation is voluntary, and all information shared will remain confidential.
