Project Description:

Public transportation can allow people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, or IDDs, to go places and do activities. Even though travel training is often provided by Vocational Rehabilitation and independent living programs, many young adults with IDDs do not learn how to use public transportation. This project will find out if a travel training, called Ready to Ride, has the same outcomes when provided by a peer supporter with IDD as when it is provided by a professional staff person.
