Opportunity for parents to contribute to research on disability. Can you help?
For Australia and New Zealand: Parents of children with disability aged between 2- and 16-years are sought to complete a 20-minute, anonymous, online survey.
The survey includes questions relating to your family, your child's behaviour, the parenting strategies you use and your own wellbeing. The goal of this important research is to develop a new questionnaire that will be used in the development and evaluation of programs to support families of children with disability.
While there are some questionnaires which measure child behaviour and parenting they suffer from a number of limitations including:
- costs associated with their use
- licensing requirements
- lack of normative data on a disability population
- lack of tools for certain important domains (e.g. parent-child relationships)
- difficulty with scoring
- length.
We anticipate that the questionnaire developed through this research will address these limitations and will be useful in facilitating the development and evaluation of programs promoting the development of children with disability. It is intended that these programs will be made available to parents throughout Australia and New Zealand.
The survey has been cleared in accordance with the ethical review processes of the University of Queensland.
