Can you help with this research project – a collaboration between UCL, Institute of Education, the Swiss Distance University, and the Institute of Special Education from the University of Fribourg, in Switzerland?
The research team are looking for parents of children/young people and adults (ages 5 to 25 years-old) who have Down’s Syndrome to fill out some online questionnaires (three sets of questionnaires in total).
This research project looks at positive emotions, emotional regulation, social approach, bullying, peer-relations and anxiety in social and non-social contexts in children, adolescents and adults with and without developmental disabilities.
The team hopes the information you provide will help them to better understand the development of social and non-social anxieties. They hope this knowledge can then be used to inform intervention strategies and programmes.
See the flyer (below) for more information.
To fill out the questionnaire please CLICK HERE.
As a thank you, the team will send parents an Amazon voucher. The value of the voucher will depend on how much of the questionnaire is completed.
