Managing My Way is an innovative project that aims to help disabled children and young people take responsibility for managing their own health conditions.
The Department of Health funded the Council for Disabled Children to carry out research with disabled young people and healthcare professionals looking at the barriers to young people’s involvement and to develop tools to overcome those barriers.
The Managing My Way research report sets out current policy and published research evidence. It details the barriers, challenges and solutions to supporting disabled young people with long-term health conditions to manage their conditions more independently.
The Managing My Way participation poster is for display in clinic rooms and is designed to encourage children and young people to participate in consultations, as well as acting as a prompt for health professionals.
The Managing My Way animation is a short animated film that sums up very simply and powerfully what young people told us about their experiences of health services.
