Dr. Jennifer Baumbusch and Dr. Tim Stainton from the Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship are the Canadian researchers involved in an international survey on the impact of COVID 19 on individuals with intellectual and developmental disability and their caregivers.
Please help us share this information widely within Canada.
The survey is led by the UCD Centre for Disability Studies in Ireland and has a team of 26 researchers working in 19 countries. This survey has full ethical approval and is entirely anonymous.
We want to recruit participants who are 18 years or older and are either (1) a family member of a person of any age who has an intellectual and developmental disability, or (2) a paid staff member supporting a person or persons of any age who has intellectual and developmental disabilities. We estimate the survey will take about 25 minutes to complete.
