New Disability Related Surveys The following link(s) will open in one new tab or window. Should you have any questions regarding this article, please follow the specific contact information provided. Below you will find three surveys that are looking for participants. Parent Survey Parents or primary caregivers of young people with disabilities 12-22 years old are invited to take part in a national research study by completing the National Family Support Survey, conducted by the FAST Project. Answers to the questions on the National Family Support Survey are confidential and will help the Administration on Developmental Disabilities, parent centers, and researchers understand the information and supports families need to prepare for moving into adulthood. This information may help to inform program development for youth with disabilities in the future. The survey is available in Spanish also. www.fastfamilysupport.org Employees with a Disability - Have you Filled Out Our Survey?
It is not too late to respond to our survey on workplace accommodations that we described in our last newsletter. Our
researchers are investigating what types of accommodations employees use in different types of work environments and how well
they work. Visit the link below to find more information and continue on to take the survey if you desire. New Videos Encourages Special Ed Students to Participate in State Outcome Survey
To help educators improve services for students with disabilities who are still in school, every state is conducting a survey
to find out what students who received special education services are doing one year after leaving high school. To help
increase response rates, the National Post-School Outcomes Center has announced the launch of “Be a Superstar – Take the
Survey.” These YouTube videos were designed to encourage students and families to complete post-school outcomes surveys.
Prepared in collaboration with PACER Center, versions are available for youth and parents in both English and Spanish.
