Experiences of Ableism and Racism Among Racially Minoritized Youth and Young Adults with Disabilities
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Youth with disabilities face persistent disability-related discrimination (ableism) but research frequently overlooks the experiences of racially minoritized youth. The purpose of our study was to explore the experiences and perceived impact of discrimination among racially minoritized youth and young adults with disabilities. This qualitative study involved a sample of 15 youth and young adults with disabilities (mean age 22 years) identifying as racially minoritized. A descriptive inductive thematic analysis was applied to the interview data. Our findings highlighted the following themes: (1) types of discrimination (i.e., cultural and family-related ableism, racist ableism, and gendered/sexist ableism); (2) perceived impact of discrimination (i.e., social isolation, avoidance of unwelcoming and unsafe situations, impact on physical and mental health, decisions about identity disclosure, and a lack of access to resources and opportunities); and (3) positive coping strategies (i.e., inclusive and safe spaces, self-advocacy, and social and family supports).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
