What we’re doing as part of the project

We are looking at the most effective ways to change negative behaviours and attitudes of non-disabled people towards disabled people when travelling.

We’re particularly interested in what interventions exist to change behaviours and attitudes and what impact do these interventions have on removing negative attitudes and behaviours.
