Summary

This study looks at whether young adults (18-27) with mild to moderate intellectual or developmental disabilities feel less lonely and more socially active when they learn travel skills from a trained peer who also has a disability, compared to learning from regular staff. About 325 participants will take a travel training program called Ready to Ride. The study measures travel skills, loneliness, and satisfaction with social activities over several months.
