The Summer Foundation Research Program relies on the generous people who volunteer their time and experience to help us understand the issues affecting young people with disability and complex support needs.
We seek to learn from people with disability, close others (family members and friends), allied health professionals, support coordinators, support workers and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) housing providers.
If you’re interested in any of our research projects below, we would love to hear from you.
