Abstract

We carried out research to find out what it was like for young people with disabilities to learn and do work experience during COVID-19. We wanted to know what some of the positive things were about having to learn from home, but also the difficulties. The research was carried out by researchers at University College Cork, with the National Learning Network. We spoke to four groups of people: Young people with disabilities who go to the National Learning Network; Family members; National Learning Network staff; Employers who give work placements to young people.
