Lincoln University research survey for military families with neurodiverse children

 


University of Lincoln are running a tri-Service survey for military families who have neurodiverse children (both diagnosed and not diagnosed). They want to know what support families are receiving, and what support they don't have but that would be helpful.

Researchers hope to have a large response to enable them to move forward with establishing services to support families in the future.

The survey is linked here, which starts with the full information sheet. The survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. https://unioflincoln.questionpro.eu/t/AB3u0MjZB3vtay
