  • Survey opportunity: The DPP is posting this on behalf of a colleague who is a parent with a disability:
    My students and I are doing research on parents with disabilities and their perspectives on quality of life. If you are a parent with a disability, over 18, and currently live in the United States, please take our anonymous survey to help further our research. The researchers will share the results with the group. Here is the link to the survey – http://bit.ly/ParWDQOL. Once you click this link, you will see the informed consent information that will tell you more about the survey.
