Are you a student with a disability, chronic illness, or mental health issue who is currently attending a group programming such as unschooling cooperatives, homeschooling resource centers, democratic free schools, Sudbury Valley schools, and other alternative education programs? Do you live in the New York City Metropolitan Area? Are you ages 13-25? Would you be interested in sharing your experiences in alternative education programs and discussing topics such as inclusion, accessibility, interaction, and how education programs could work for you? I am conducting a research study on the experiences of students with disabilities in alternative education programs.
