Abstract

Transition-age adults with disabilities largely desire the same community employment and community participation outcomes as young adults without disabilities. One common barrier to the manifestation of these desires is the lack of reliable and accessible transportation in their communities. This study used the participatory action research method of photovoice to investigate the experiences of college students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) accessing various transportation options within their community. Utilizing a critical constructivist theoretical framework, researchers worked with participants to co-construct situated knowledge. The overall aim of this study was to contribute to the extant literature on transportation barriers and facilitators for this population and to give emerging adults enrolled in an inclusive postsecondary education program an opportunity to share their lived experiences and raise critical consciousness related to their transportation experiences. Limitations and implications for future research, and practice are included.

智力和发育障碍大学生的交通体验：摄影选择研究

过渡年龄段的残疾成年人大多希望与非残疾的年轻成年人一样，获得社区就业和社区参与的成果。实现这些愿望的一个共同障碍是他们的社区缺乏可靠和无障碍的交通。本研究采用参与式行动研究法（photovoice）来调查智力和发育障碍（IDDs）大学生在社区内使用各种交通工具的经历。研究人员利用批判建构主义理论框架，与参与者共同建构情景知识。本研究的总体目标是为现有文献中有关这一人群的交通障碍和促进因素做出贡献，并为参加全纳中学后教育项目的新兴成年人提供一个机会，分享他们的生活经历，并提高与他们的交通经历相关的批判意识。本研究的局限性以及对未来研究和实践的影响也包括在内。
