Rafting and kayaking could bridge the gap for teens with disabilities
NCT ID NCT07609459
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will see if outdoor activities like rafting, canyoning, and kayaking can help teens with and without disabilities feel more included and connected. About 35 teens aged 12–16 will take part, with some doing the activities and others not. Researchers will measure changes in how they view accessibility, group bonding, and attitudes toward inclusion.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that shared outdoor adventures help build empathy and inclusion between teens with and without disabilities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 35 participants, so results may not apply to larger groups. The activities also carry physical risks like injury.
