Studies how young people of Asian, African and Caribbean origin, with a range of disabilities, manage the transition to adulthood with its gradual change from dependence on others to independence and self-reliance. Outlines the views of 44 such young people on the different issues that influenced their understanding and experiences of independence and independent living, including how race, culture and religion affect the understanding of disability and independence, how experiences of education and work influence independence, their interactions with social care agencies, and their ambitions and expectations for the future.
