Research Engagement Survey

Research Engagement Survey

DEC Research Committee 2021
The Division for Early Childhood (DEC) would like your perspective as an early intervention or early childhood special education (EI/ECSE) practitioner or as a family member of a child receiving (EI/ECSE) services. Our goal is to better understand how families and practitioners engage with research and how DEC can better support dissemination of research and evidence-based strategies.

This survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. The deadline for submission is Saturday, May 1st, 2021.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Sloan Storie at sstorie1@uncc.edu or Alice Bravo at acbravo@uw.edu

Thank you in advance for your time and efforts.
