The poster, Top Tips for Participation, which is free in this week's CYP Now, shows the key areas that young disabled people feel could be changed to make a positive impact on their lives.
Kate Martin, CDC's senior development officer, said: "Many disabled children and young people, despite having much to contribute to society, are still not being involved in decision-making processes and are denied opportunities to share their views.
"This poster shows, in young people's own words, what we can all do to ensure disabled young people are able to participate in all decisions and issues that affect them."
The poster is part of the Making Ourselves Heard project, which promotes the voices of young disabled people. The project aims to encourage young disabled people to participate in decisions that affect them on a national scale, within local communities and in their own lives.
