9. Qualitative comments Need for clear reference for distance Not only physical reasons for having difficulty with walking and climbing stairs –The problem is, we did not realize that when we answered on that stairs question, it only struck me a couple of minutes later and I did think about it. There are numerous reasons [for having difficulty walking or climbing stairs]. (Non-disabled youth) –Okay, the other thing here with no. 14 [difficulty walking and climbing stairs], if you think about walking and climbing steps… for us at night… if we put’ yes’ there then you might think that we are physically disabled - but we are not. But at night time, if it’s in the dark and because we are deaf, we don’t have… we find ourselves imbalanced. No, not imbalance. We have a poor sense of balance. (Deaf group)

10. Recommendation Add clear reference to distance For example: Do you / does [name] have difficulty Walking a kilometre or climbing a flight of steps?
