Sibling Experience Study

The University of East Anglia (UEA) is recruiting for a new study and would love to hear from anyone aged 11-15 who has a sibling with a learning disability.

They would like to interview siblings (aged 11-15 years old) and/or their parents.  Interviews will take place on Teams and take up to 1 hour.

If you are interested in taking part, contact Zoe Starkie at z.starkie@uea.ac.uk for further information.

You can also take part in a survey about your experiences.

This survey is for anybody aged 11 - 15 years old who has a sibling with learning disabilities, and for parents of such siblings.

The survey should take 10-20 minutes to complete.
