Abstract
This paper explores the daily (micro)mobilities that youth with a
visual or auditory impairment use to sustain well-being. Geographical
research suggests that mobility is a universal phenomenon referred to
the capacity to navigate one's way through different spaces and
places. Using a qualitative cross-cultural, visual methods approach to
research with vulnerable youth, including four participants with
visual or auditory impairments, we demonstrate that everyday patterns
of (micro)mobilities through the youth's home, school and community
help disabled youth create pathways to resilience. The implications of
these findings are discussed in relation to services that promote
resilience against ableist beliefs.
