Call for Family Participants: Impact of COVID-19 on Families of Infants and Toddlers

Call for Family Participants: Impact of COVID-19 on Families of Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities: Learning through Family Photos and Stories

Please consider assisting Dr. Kimberly Hile and Dr. Jenna Weglarz-Ward in identifying family participants willing to engage in a photo-elicitation interview to understand how families of infants and toddlers with disabilities have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Families should have participated in Part C early intervention in 2020-2021. They will be asked to complete a brief demographic survey that should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete. They will also be asked to identify 5-10 photographs that highlight their experiences accessing services including Part C early intervention, child care, and medical care. Families and researchers will review the photographs during a 60 minute Zoom interview allowing families to share stories about their experiences. Families will receive two children’s books upon completion of the interview.

Families can express interest and complete an eligibility screening here.
