STUDY: Call for Participants

Parenting During the Pandemic is the overarching study from which I will be drawing quantitative data for a sub-study. The sub-study explores the impact of COVID19 on Manitoban families of children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs), ages 0-8 years. NDD’s are often apparent at birth or in early childhood and include, but are not limited to, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, global delay syndrome, speech and language disorders, motor disorders, Down syndrome, and intellectual disability. 

Once you complete the survey within Parenting during the Pandemic, you will be asked if you would like to participate in future or follow up studies (please check off “yes”). For those that fit the above criteria (highlighted in yellow) and have agreed to participate in follow up studies, I will contact them to arrange an interview to discuss specifically how their access to services has been impacted by the pandemic. A $20 honorarium (Gift Card) will be given to participants who complete the follow up interview. “
