Hi, I was wondering whether anyone would be able to help me? I am currently writing my dissertation at university on the practical and emotional impact on parents who have children with disabilities. Would anyone like to share their experiences with me to help in writing the dissertation. I do have a questionnaire for it if anyone would wish to fill it out. Information you give me could be used in the dissertation, however identities would be kept confidential.
If anybody wishes to fill out the questionnaire please let me know and I will post it up, if not any shared experiences would be great!
Thank you
Sarah
Re: the practical and emotional impact on parents
I’d fill out your questionnaire as well. Post or e-mail me.
