Limitations[edit]

This article discusses the significant characteristics of youth and disability, and some of the obstacles that they overcome. Some of the limitations to this article is that quite a few sections are only represented by one article, for example: the direct and indirect costs are represented by the article by Stablie and Allin only and have no other references. Other references would broaden the amount of knowledge and also resolve any bias that is present in the article.

Another limitation is that there are a few sections that have little to no research but are still included in the article because they are such important sections, I was just unfortunate enough to not come across any creditable sources within my time limitation. Employment, poverty and social portrayal are three important sections that have little to no research, so any help with those sections would be greatly appreciated. Particularly in the social portrayal section, I would suggest creating a positive and negative portrayal (because it would be very easy to only represent the negative stigmas).

The last limitation that I would recommend making changes to is the Disability Rights section - it only has information from the United States and the United Kingdom, other countries would eliminate the systemic bias that is relevant in this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Psychnut93 (talk • contribs) 11:03, November 20, 2014‎

Needs work, but an important topic[edit]

Hello - This article does a good job of identifying the themes outlined in scholarship on this topic: global inequality and disability, disproprotionality of mentally disabled youth in crim justice system (in US), costs to family. Much is needed to be done. My student working on this page found that the experience of disability impacts youth differently, and that disability impacts the youth experience. I hope this article can be improved by other editors. Cheers, Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 16:12, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Content[edit]

I'm planning on editing parts of the introduction paragraph while adding sources throughout the page. I may also add a section discussing youth in society. Student4545 (talk) 21:16, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
