Surveys for Parents of Special Needs Kids

i received this through my enewsletter from the ARC of Indiana, arcind.org. If you fit the description of who they are surveying, i encourage you to contact and participate!

SURVEY PARTICIPATION REQUESTED

Are you the parent, guardian, or primary caretaker of an adult family member with an intellectual or developmental disability who has applied for or received Medicaid-funded waiver services in Indiana? You may be eligible to participate in a research study through Indiana University-Indianapolis. Participants will complete a 10-minute survey and join an in-person focus group for a maximum of 2-hours to discuss the personal effects of Medicaid eligibility rules. To participate, contact Stephanie Hoffer at srhoffer@iu.edu or (317) 274-1488.

SURVEY PARTICIPATION REQUESTED

Caregivers of a child who received special education services in a public preschool in 2021-22 and eligible for services from Head Start, Public Pre-k, National School Lunch Program, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Medicaid, and/or Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), based on income, can participate in a survey about the experience with the child’s special education teacher. Earn up to $60 in gift cards by finishing the survey, interview, and follow-up text or email. Email nicole.adams@louisville.edu with questions.

 

Possible Resource?

i've received a few emails from someone who "feels" real, but looks like a spammer. Certainly my email server thinks so.

Still, visiting his website doesn't seem to have harmed my computer, and there's more to the website than i originally saw.  This could be useful, and the information is good.    Check it out if you like, but i don't really feel comfortable responding to the emails.

 Let's say i might be overcautious, but i'm practicing internet safety.

You use your own judgment.

The email and his links:

I’ve read the article you mentioned on Autism (ASD) here: http://wondersandmarvels-wonderfull.blogspot.com/2015/05/ahead-of-curve.html 

The internet can be a wonderful place for people with Autism, but it also has a dark side. 

I wanted to suggest a great resource I found, that might help your readers learn more about online threats.

 

It covers the risks and opportunities on the internet for people with ASD and how to make the internet safer for them. You can find it here: https://www.wizcase.com/blog/internet-safety-guide-for-people-with-autism-spectrum-disorders/

 

I believe it would be a great resource for your page and will certainly help a lot of people out there.
