Volunteers needed for research study

⌄

Are you a parent or carer of a child with Down Syndrome aged between 6 months and 13 years?

You are invited to take part in a short open question online survey exploring how parenting a child with Down Syndrome may shape your day-to-day life, sense of self and connections with others.  

This study is part of an MSc Occupational Therapy research project with Leeds Beckett University.  It aims to better understand the real experiences of parents, challenges, adaptations and everything in between. 

Your participation is confidential. No identifying information will be published. All responses will be anonymized.  Some responses may be quoted with pseudonyms in research, reports or publications to illustrate key themes. 

Participation is entirely voluntary and you may withdraw at any point before submitting the survey.

To take part, complete the survey here.

For any questions regarding the study, please contact l.cameron7646@student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk
