NCT ID NCT07505121

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether young adults (ages 18-27) with mild to moderate intellectual or developmental disabilities feel less lonely and more connected when they learn travel skills from a peer who also has a disability, compared to learning from regular staff. About 325 participants will take part in a travel training program called Ready to Ride. The goal is to see if peer support improves social activities, travel independence, and overall quality of life.
