Seeking participants in an online study about the social inclusion of children with and without developmental disabilities (DD). The goal is to learn about the factors associated with the social participation and inclusion of preschool and early-school aged children with and without DD and the experience of their families. This information is very important for informing families, community and social services to better meet the needs of all children and their families. Volunteers will be asked to fill out a series of questionnaires via an online survey. They are looking for parents who have a child between the ages of 3 and 8 years, who is typically developing, or who has a developmental disability). For information, contact vicki.lopes@queensu.ca.
