The authors, who are disabled individuals, university academics, and researchers in the UK, describe the work of the Living Life to the Fullest Project between 2017 and 2020, an arts-informed project that explored the lives, hopes, desires, and contributions of disabled children and young people living with life-limiting and life-threatening impairments, showing how disabled young people are living their lives to the fullest. They describe the theoretical foundations and perspectives of the project; their methodology for conducting co-produced research with disabled young people as participants and co-researchers; the effects of relationships between disabled young people and assistance dogs; the role of faith in participants’ lives; the intersections between disability, sexuality, and relationships; labor in the lives of disabled young people; working with children and young people in special education contexts; and the outlook of these individuals and the balance between wanting to live life fully with the concept and reality of death and dying.
