Interacting with Different Types of Students

For 8 -12 year old children and their parents

In this study, your child will hear about a peer with a particular disability (ADHD, dyscalculia, or Deafness). They will think about if they would want a peer with that disability to join different activities and respond to questions about including that child. We will also tell them about that type of disability and find out what they know about that disability and if they know or are friends with any peers with that disability. We will also ask you to tell us a bit about your child and your child’s experiences with individuals with disabilities. This study will be completed through Qualtrics.
Note: This study involves reading and some writing by your child, because all questions are written down in the survey and sometimes there are free response text boxes to type in. You should be available to help your child read through and type, if helpful for your child. Your child can also click on audio files to hear the stories and responses read aloud to them.

The purpose of this research study is to understand what and how children think about including peers with disabilities.

For your child’s participation in this study, they will receive a $5 USD e-gift card (TangoCard) of their choice which will be emailed to the parent/guardian’s email address you provide following your consent (usually within 3 days) if they are 8-12 years old, are visible in the consent process when they participate in our study and have not participated in our study before.
