Filipino-Australian families sought for research project

Alex Higgins is a rehabilitation student completing research for an honours degree, at the University of Sydney by ....

" ...... conducting a research project on the use of early intervention services for families who are of Filipino-Australian descent and are caring full time for a child under the age of eighteen years who is diagnosed as having an intellectual disability.

The families can be single-parent or two parent families, however the child must have two Filipino parents irrespective of whether both parents are actively raising the child or not.

The method for this study will be to conduct structured survey interviews with representatives of the families. Each family is able to nominate who they feel bears the primary responsibility for caring for this child with a disability. "

If your family or a family you know might be interested in participating, please contact info@dsansw.org.au to be put in touch with Alex, and for further information.
