Research Opportunity: Integrated Supports

May 6, 2025 | by sau1admin

We are sharing this information from Kelli Sanderson, an Associate Professor of Special Education at California State University Long Beach (CSULB), and Dr. Meghan Burke (Vanderbilt University) about a research project they are doing. For accessibility we have included both the English flyer and Spanish flyer as images with Image Descriptions. Find out more about the project and how you can be part of it below.

The project is funded by NIDILRR (National Institute of Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research). We are interviewing adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and their caregivers to learn more about the types of supports they use to meet their daily needs. Interviews are held on Zoom and last approximately 1-hour. Interviewees are compensated up to $30 for their time. Interviews are available in English or Spanish.

We are especially looking to hear directly from adults with an intellectual and/or developmental disability.

I have attached a flyer for the study. Additionally, here is a direct link to register for an interview: https://redcap.link/2crff1ns
